WOOT!

Day One- August 25th, 2009
We just arrived at the Palazzo in Sansepolcro, Italy.  The trip was a long one.  After a three hour delay we finally left Washington Dulles airport and survived an eight hour plane ride we finally arrived in Rome.  The airport itself seemed small, but crowded.  We retrieved our luggage from the luggage thing.  It was a relief to finally see Doctor Webb and John Rose.  It was proof that we were close to our destination.
Dragging our luggage on and off trains through Rome was quite an adventure.  It was two trains and a bus ride to this little town.  The bus ride was my favorite part, the scenery was absolutely beautiful.
Upon arriving at the Palazzo we were greeted with dinner by the amazing Margherita.  It was delicious after a very long day.  After all the stress of the day, we are all exhausted.
Good night world.


Day Three- August 27th, 2009
Today was the first day of our classes.  Its already Thursday, so we get to enjoy a two day week.  All of our classes are interesting and I'm sure that I will enjoy them.  I really hope I learn a lot of Italian! After classes Vi and I went on an adventure to the PAM.  The PAM is a local grocery store.  They sell delicious yogurt.  Tonight was fun.  Vi and I bought gelatto, an Italian form of ice cream.  We went to the cathedral near the Piazza and watched the people as we ate our gelatto.  Now we are back in our room and it is time for bed.  Good night.


Day Five- August 29th, 2009
Today was a slow day.  We all slept in after a night on the town.  However, when it came time for dinner, we all went with Nicole to meet her friend Giaccomo.  He had a friend whose name was ALSO Giaccomo.  We ate dinner and listened to them talk about their lives in  Italy and their experiences in America.  It was interesting to hear how they felt being foreigners in the country that is our home.  We don't really think about that.
After a delicious, and interesting, dinner, we ventured to the Disco la techa.  I don't know how to spell it.  I will just say that it was a really fun experience and I hope to do it again.  Well, it is very late and I must go to bed.
Good night.
