Exploring St. Augustine

On New Years Eve day, Kyle and I drove up to St. Augustine to do some exploring! He's been there a couple times for fire training related things (at Flagler College) and been able to see some limited-access things, and he'd been wanting to take me there himself for awhile now. He knows I just love all the historic architecture stuff :) So off we went, and we spent about 2 hours exploring the historic city center and all its hidden treasures. We had a blast! I took many pictures, but here are just some of the highlights...

Milan: World Expo 2015

Through my university, we got to spend a day in Milan at the 2015 Expo. It was a truly amazing, once in a lifetime experience, and from a designer's perspective it was just the coolest thing ever! The way each respective country was able to portray, explain, and showcase their heritage was unreal. With the overarching theme of food and feeding the world through sustainable practices, it was neat to see how each countries contributions can impact the world on a global scale. I took a million pictures throughout the day, so much so to where my cameras battery died! So I'll spare you by just sharing some of the highlights, specifically from a design perspective. My favorite Pavillions were Slovenia and Austria, but Turkey, EATALY, France, Brazil, and Vietnam had some cool features as well.

Overall it was a long, fun, hot day. I was definitely happy to shower and go to sleep at the end of it, but everything I saw gave me some sort of inspiration for future projects. I cannot wait to put what I've seen, what I've learned, to work in projects to come.
