Our very first week in Venice has come and gone in what seems like no time at all! A lot has happened in such a short amount of time. We arrived in Venice, moved into our respective apartments, and got acquainted with the beautiful city of Venice. In the process of seeing the sights, finding our way to meetings (hopefully without getting lost) and wandering around looking for the nearest grocery store, we have gotten to know our way around pretty well by now! We have also jumped headfirst into our project: Exploring the City of Islands: Interactive Resources for Analyzing the Islands of Venice. Our first week was full of meetings. We have scheduled weekly meetings with our advisers; professors Carrera and Higgins, and have met with members of the Venice Project Center (Piero Toffolo and Tomaso Minelli) twice for technical assistance with qGIS, Venipedia, and the CK console. We also found several books in the VPC collection which have useful information for our project. With all these resources now collected and most of our major questions answered, we are now moving ahead with our project at full speed! More details and updates to follow soon.
