Literature and Art in Context

So.... I believe I mentioned before that I am planning on studying abroad this upcoming summer and that I would give you more details later. Well, we just had our second meeting, so I am able to give you more details. The program that I am participating in, is made up of MSU students and led by three MSU professors. We will receive 9 credits for this trip or in other words we are taking 3 classes: children's literature, young adult literature and methods of teaching art. We start the trip in Paris. We will explore that area for one week, going to the Louve, the Cathedral of Chartres, and of course eating lots of crepes. Then we head up to England. We will be traveling all over the country (spending a lot of time in London) going to Harry Potter sites, and Beatrix Potter's farm (author of Peter Rabbit). Then I plan on staying in Europe for a few weeks. I will have one to two weeks there by myself (I haven't decided what I am going to do yet) and then I am meeting my little sister in Italy, where we really want to take a cooking class! That's about all I know so far about the trip, other than the fact that I have to read a heap load of books before this semester is over (which is not easy given the lack of time I have to do my current homework!) I am excited!
