Bobcat Abroad: Michelle Brady

Age: 20

Nickname: Brady

Location Abroad: Florence, Italy

Other Countries You Have Visited While Abroad: Switerzerland, France, Spain

Institution Where You Are Studying: Syracuse University

Favorite Class: Photography

Last Meal You Ate: I had the best Pear and Cheese Raviolis, antipasto, chocolate cake & wine for lunch

Last Historic Site You Visited: I went to the Eiffel Tower at night and climbed to the top. It was an amazing view

Favorite National Artist (Music, Arts, Etc.): Michelozzo; he built the Medici Palace which is one of my favorite palaces in Florence.

Favorite National Athlete: I am not too familiar with famous athletes, but we  are going to a Fiorentina soccer game this weekend.

Favorite Local Eatery: Gato el Volpe, they have the best family style  meal where you get antipasto,vegetables, pasta and wine for a cheap price!

Favorite National Fashion Trend: Mink Fur coats, all the old Italian women wear them

Favorite Foreign Word(in your host country's native  language): Bellissima (means  pretty..used to describe a  place/building/landscape)

Describe Your Favorite Experience To Date: We were walking around in Paris and saw women dressed in really bright  and unique clothes. We then realized we were walking with all the  models/ designers who were going to a fashion show, since it was  fashion week in Paris. Then we saw a massive group of paparazzi  following a woman with all blue on and followed them. We fought  through the paparazzi and got right next to Katy Perry. We got sooo close to her it was crazy.

What You Are Doing To Stay In Shape: Running up a hill behind our  apartment that overlooks Florence and biking to school

What You Miss Most About Bates: friends at bates, the close proximity of everything at Bates, playing fh on the turf, chicken wraps, general  tao's chicken, hashbrowns, bagels and cream cheese

Anything Else About Your Experience: Nicole and I live with a host  family who speaks NO english. The language barrier has been extremely difficult and dinners consist of our host parents talking in Italian  and us nodding and laughing when we think they are telling jokes. We are starting to get better though and can understand more of what they are saying. Our host mom makes amazing food, my favorite being cheese risotto with tomatoes. She forces us to eat a TON, and we have three courses every night for dinner.. I think one night we ate the uterus of a cow..but not too sure because we couldn't understand what they were saying.

Also, we went to Switzerland and skiied the Swiss Alps. Nicole and I  hadn't skied in about five years and we by accidently went down a black diamond and had to roll down the hill because it was the  steepest hill I have ever seen..
