Summer, 2012

The Wagner family is spending summer 2012 on the MV Explorer, cruising to several ports in the Mediterranean. It's our second outing on Semester at Sea, the shipboard study abroad program run by ISE, the Institute for Shipboard Education. The academic program is created by the University of Virginia and our friend and neighbor Craig Barton is the Academic Dean. So it seemed like a good fit for me to teach documentary film and to bring along the Wagner family. Mary, Danny and Frankie are on for the whole trip and Casey is joining us in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The other ports we're visiting are Barcelona, Rome, Naples, Athens, Istanbul, Casablanca and Lisbon. My students, hailing from universities all over the country, have been terrific.
