Easter Eggs
Andres MacLean
U of A Exchange, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spring 2014
One of the highlights of my study abroad experience was the trip I did with a couple of friends through Eastern Europe during our Easter Break. Our first stop was Vienna and what a wonderful city it was! On our second day there, we visited the Schönbrunn Palace and its beautiful gardens. To our surprise there was a pretty big Easter Market where you could enjoy live music, delicious Austrian cuisine and buy local products. I photographed these hand-made eggs that had beautiful designs- the lady that sold them was pretty interesting!
1st Place- Events Category
Journey to Guatemala
Katherine Dombek
U of A Faculty-Led, Urban Design in Mexico, Summer 2014
After two weeks of traveling through Mexico in the confined space of a van, we reached the Guatemalan boarder expecting some paperwork, travel fees, and a new van to take us on our way. Nope! Turns out the journey to Guatemala requires climbing into small boats and driving miles upstream, experiencing increasing contact with howler monkeys and other wildlife as we make our way into a beautiful and mysterious forest which is always thickening around us.
