A Day With Professor Forlino

On Monday May 22 my Italian classmates Isa, Mitra and Marion and I drove to Claremont to spend the late afternoon with our friend Dr. Marino Forlino.

It was a very hot day.  When we arrived in the village town we were early so we stopped for some treats at Le Pain Quotidian

Then we drove to Marino's house very close to the Scripps College campus.

He then took us on a very nice tour of the Scripps campus 

 We enjoyed seeing Marino's office.

We then returned to the Claremont Village and had dinner at a nice Italian restaurant called Il Mattone. 

 Here we are with the owner Davide who is from Le Marche in Italy.

 Yummy dinner

 Congratulations Professor Forlino for completing your first academic year at Scripps College.  We are certain you will have many rewarding experiences here in the years to come.  As you pointed out this translation on the Scripps College plaque "Incipit Vita Novi"  - a new life begins! Bravo Marino!
