The World is My Classroom

Just a few more weeks, and I'll be off to London and Paris for a course in Multimedia Production through Florida State University's International Program. What a way to learn! This blog is beginning as a way to share our adventures around these two capital cities and environs as we practice digital photography on such subjects as Stonehenge and the Eiffel Tower. I've already "met" a number of the other students through our course site and Facebook, and this should be a very interesting class. Our ages range from twenties to fifties, and we're all eager to pack as much adventure into our time in Europe as we possibly can. One of my goals is to explore some of the more unusual sights of London and Paris; hence the term "oblique." We've already been talking about checking out the Jack the Ripper Walking Tour and the Catacombs of Paris, as well as some of the more conventional tourist attractions. (When my sister and I visited Amsterdam a few years ago, we went off to check out the torture museum while the rest of our tour went to the diamond factory). As you may guess, learning how to create and write a blog is one of our assignments. How am I doing so far?
