This morning and afternoon are free for exploring, but later this evening I meet with other students attending the school for an aperitivo. Tomorrow, classes begin! At 9am I have a placement exam and interview which will place me in the appropriate class. A typical day will be classes from 9-12:45, a couple hours for lunch, then an afternoon excursion. Pronta!
Let’s take a little stroll together:
The trulli are so interesting and oftentimes they are personalized with a symbol painted on the roof:
It’s quite enchanting:
Every Italian city and town has a memorial for soldiers who died in WWII:
Again, I don’t really have much information to share yet. Tomorrow afternoon our excursion is an orientation to the city and its history. I will have more to report. 😊
Today is the final course of the Giro d’Italia! I have to
admit I have been watching it. Endless,
grueling cycling that goes on for hours … lots of nothing happening …. Then a
30 second sprint at the end and someone wins.
For the viewer, its takes the same kind of suspended disbelief, patience
and willingness to rest in a state of anxiety and boredom that the sport of
soccer (football, here) requires. Nonetheless, I do like watching it. Vai,
vai!!
Aspetta! I was wrong. The final course is NEXT Sunday. Porca Miseria!
