7 maggio (May 7) - Jill

Buongiorno! Raining again today - on and off since we arrived (but no snow - LOL). School is getting harder - we learned the alphabet, days, months, etc a couple of days ago. Today we tackled verbs... Uffa! Mama Mia!! There are several people in our class that have already taken Italian so not sure why they're in the Basic class. We've had the best ham/cheese sandwiches that I've had since I was in Cuba (forever ago). We've been trying out different cafes - trying to find an economical yet tasty place to get our morning caffé and cioccolate (cup of chocolate soup!).
Yesterday, we toured Santa Croce (a huge church with a lot of people buried in it). It also has dedications to Galileo Galilei, Davinci, Dante, and the list goes on...
Tuesday night, we had a group dinner with lots of wine. Anna and I continued with wine until the wee hours, catching up. Made Wednesday a very long day! Tried out the local McDonalds - good for a hangover and yummy as always!

Tomorrow we're off to Siena with a school tour. Hope the sun stays out for more than 5 minutes ;)

Ciaa!!
