Capri

7/8/2016

Before heading to Pompeii, I had the chance to visit the beautiful island of Capri off the coast of Sorrento. It was peak tourist season there and very crowded, however I had an amazing time seeing ancient Roman ruins, enjoying hikes, riding a funicular and chair lift, and enjoying the local cuisine. I had the opportunity to meet Salvatore, who shared the art of sandal making with me. He has been making sandals in his family store for 60 years!! Capri is one of those magical places that you see in the movies. You have to see it yourself to know the beauty that this place holds. I first visited here when I was 16 and I am so thankful to have been able to return.

Italy is one of the few places that I really want to go to. I think that it is a place that will allow me to enjoy my life. I Want to go there because I want to practice my cooking. I want to own my own restaurant, and I know that Italy is one of the best places to practice my cooking. I am hoping that I can save up enough to actually go and study there in the future.

received a FFT (Fund for Teachers) Grant to travel to Pompeii to create a virtual field trip for her students. Once they "visit" Pompeii, they will use Minecraft EDU to recreate the ancient city. Using STEAM principles, they will redesign the city better withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes.
