On the last day of the course, we took a group photo outside the house, and prepared to go our separate ways for a week.
We (the students) loaded up our trusty Passat wagon for its long voyage to Italy for a weeks vacation, after all why waste the opportunity? Those of you contemplating a European vacation with a Volkswagen Passat, please proceed further to educate yourselves on the reality of that situation .
The Passat had 5 passengers and their stuff….five (well
maybe 4 and a half) full-grown, adult passengers. Its a good job we got to know
each other pretty well over the previous 2 weeks, as it was pretty intimate.
Driving the car suddenly became a sought-after job, despite facing ‘car-mageddon’
on Italian highways.
You must be 5’ tall or under for this portion of the ride.
Its pretty amazing what poor graduate students'll do to avoid paying for a hotel!
As for the Profs........ They went to
Work on glaciers in the Piz Bernia and....
to hike & collect from the Adamello in Italy
