monday we learned all about john keats
[review: english poet in early 19th century who died of tuberculosis in rome at an early age. "ode to a nightingale" "ode to a grecian urn" etc.]
keats died here
now it's a museum
right next to the spanish steps
there are locks of his hair on display
gross
the bedroom where he died
and his death mask
so next, we went to see his grave
prettiest cemetery i've ever seen
keats' grave
nameless
the movie bright star says
he died "feeling like a failure"
his poet pal percy was buried close by
next we went to a design exhibition
weird wooden sink
today (thursday)
we went to the ninfa gardens
it used to be a medieval town
there are plants from all over the world here
perfect climate
dear betsy, this plant reminds me of you
it's from south america
laura
the sprinklers were tricky to navigate
bamboo from vietnam
amy filled up her water bottle with
real spring water
lesloo
next we toured another winery
& had a wine tasting
then we took fun pictures in front of the vineyards
this is what we were going for:
success
