Hello all! So here's the thing. I am finding it really hard to catch up on my blogging because they keep us so busy here, and especially now because I have homework to do. I usually write a few short-hand notes in a blog about each day I'm here, so I've posted everything for you to read, and I'll let you know when I add the coordinating pictures and spruce them up a little bit.
Left on bus at 8:15.
Got to University (2nd oldest after alexandria) was closed and we didn't understand why until someone mentioned earthquake in broken english. Returned to Verona at 6, Federica gave us earthquake procedure, and we were sent home to reassure our parents that we were fine, and the earthquake wasn't serious. In all actuality, we had no idea how serious it really was, or that people had died during the day :(
During the day:
st anthonie's
donatello
lunch
ARENA CHAPEL!!! SO COOL!
bus
olympc theater and gelato
Came home to find that our clothes had been washed, the beds and towels changed, and everything neat and tidy! YAY! It's like we have little merry fairies that tidy up while we're gone, haha. Only the clothes weren't dry, so they were spread out on a drying rack and I have to fold them all.
late night Krapfen at 11:30pm. SO GOOD! I learned from Wikipedia that they are donuts from Austria, Germany or Italy, and are typically filled with Apricot preserves (which one of the boys discovered when he took a bite of the unknown flavor). I myself got a creme-filled, which was amazing, and satisfied my cravaing for my typical late-night bowl of ice cream! I am SO going back!
