FOREIGN STUDY AND TRAVEL

My time in Rome (1990) gave me the opportunity to travel and study in most of Italy, many parts of Europe and Israel. I continued my Italian studies at Notre Dame gaining proficiency in speaking, understanding and writing Italian. I have also spent time in India (2002) where I studied for three weeks the culture, religion and art of Hinduism, Buddhism and Sufism.
