Mid Term
Glad today's reviews are over with. Just a lot of work for a short presentation every single pin-up. A pin-up gets its name from the old school way of printing your projects and pining them up for critiques.

Pretty port, tis about all
... in this morning. We were out and about by about midday and hit the streets of Genoa. We started with a few of the main Piazza’s which have as always beautiful buildings in them, most of them have been turned into museums now.
