A little reception

This post is really just an excuse to show you all some pretty pictures.

The Academy hosted a Welcome reception tonight (What?! Two-and-a-half weeks in? Yes.) at the Villa Aurelia. It is a gorgeous estate, and I would seriously consider living in a tent, nomad-like, on the grounds, if they'd have me.

A fantastic wrought-iron door

Indigo, caught in the act of eating a canapé


Lovely fountain, complete with lily pads

Josh looking spiffy, indulgently following Indigo on her explorations

A view from one of the gardens


Yet another amazing fountain. The water drips from the top of the arch

Sunset and dusk. We saw bats fluttering amongst the trees

The lighting at dusk is gorgeous
