Sunrise In The Alps, Rain And Wind
Greet Students In Italy For Easter

Sent from Paris
by Patricia Murray, *52

“Italy is perfect for Easter.” A
friend of mine and I decided to es-
cape the eternally gray sky of
Paris, for freedom and sunlight in
Italy.

We left Paris at ten in the eve-
ning, well provided with sand-
wiches, cigarettes, oranges, choco-
ate, sourballs (“bonbons acidules”)
and aspirin.
with us were several French speak-
ng Italians. One was a large
motherly woman, who showed us
the enormous Italian banknotes,

Italians seem to like things big and

showy.

At dawn the train stopped at a
little station in Switzerland. We
went into the restaurant and gulp-
ed down hot coffee: we burned our
tongues in fear of being abandon-
ed. Once again in the train we
stayed by the open windows in the
corridor and watched thet sun rise
from behind the Alps across the

As we crossed
the border into sunny Italy it be-
gan to rain. It rained during a
good part of our stay.

We arrived in Florence later in
the afternoon. There the building
are low, and you feel near the sky,
which does not weigh you down as
it does in the North. From the
station we walked out upon the
square. Groups of people, automo-
biles, and bicycles were circulating
leisurely and without conflict in
the street; in Florence the traffic
is always slow. If a Florentine
hurried, he wouldn’t have time to
run his eye over every girl who
passes.

Florence is much liked by the
American tourists, who don’t ex-
pect to find in this city of muse-
ums and churches, a center of such
elegant shops and hotels.

‘We spent five days in Florence,
and left for Rome. -Rome is enor-
mous: and very scattered; it lacks
the unity of atmosphere of Flor-
ence; it doesn’t welcome you.

We spent one long gray windy
afternoon in the Roman Forum.
Momentarily bitten by the arch-
aeologist’s bug, I ran around and
