I did! I always enjoy your classes. Your vibrancy, energy and transparent joy in the subject come through the screen right into my heart and mind. That's what makes learning fun and exciting. Can't wait for more!

I'm Linda. I live in Augusta, GA, USA. I retired in September as a United Methodist Pastor. Prior to that I was a litigation attorney specializing in aviation and environmental litigation. I have traveled to all 50 states and 31 foreign countries, but I've only been to Italy once. I always thought when I retired I would do two things quickly: return to Italy for an extended trip, and take courses in art history, especially of the renaissance, which I've always been interested in studying, but Covid got in the way. I thought I would take the courses in a classroom. I never dreamed I would be studying "in Florence" instead. This is wonderful. I've visited the Duomo, Baptistry, Uffizi, and Accademia in Florence; the Sistine Chapel, St. Peters, and Vatican museums in Rome; Venice's Doges' Palace and St. Mark; and spent some lovely days in Stresa on Lago Maggiore. I'm looking forward to learning with Elaine and getting to know all of you.
