We were all up quite early due to jet-lag (not really awake though!). I found a fabulous little bar (remember....not for alcohol students!) and had a buffet breakfast of; pandoro, fruit, cereals and coffee for 4E (euro).
Really made my day!
We then met and went to the uni, which is just around the corner from our accommodation. We had a brief introduction for an hour and then a 3 hours lesson. I never want to hear any students ever complain about a double period....we have lessons either for 3 or 4 hour per day. And had no break.
Today we went over the present indicative tense, both regular and irregular verbs. We had a large bookelt given to us to complete if we wanted, and you'll all be proud to know that your teacher, the fab Miss A, handed hers in at the end of the lesson, all completed (yes, I'm a nerd...and proud of it!)
Below is a photo of a coffee vending machine....slightly more in depth than ours at home!!!
Lunch was pretty good, some rapa (spinach type leaves) with pureed beans, then followed by orechiette (look up this shape of pasta after you've had a guess at what it could be) with pomodoro e basilico.
Yummy.
I'm going to have to start running so I dont come back shaped like gnocchi.
After lunch we had a tour of the town - pretty amazing. It was pitch black by 4.30pm. Great. Below is a picture of the entrance to the 'centro storico' (look it up!) and the current art installation project - theme is 'lights':
The tour lasted until we had a welcome party tonight at uni. They had it all catered with lots of typical regional foods - pureed chick peans with prawns, mozzarella sticks, potator with octopus and lots of other yummy dishes. Needless to say we didn't wat them all, and I made sure we carried 6 plates of the leftover food home so we can have them tomorrow.
I'm still exhausted after the flights and travel, so I'll take pictures and add them up tomorrow.
I would love to get at least 50 people signed up so pls share the site via facebook....I will start putting up some challenges as I have so many things I can bring home as prizes.....this town is so beautiful...you'll see in photos i'll put up soon.
Tomorrow we have a 4 hr language lesson and then either food making or paper mache classes.
Either way, I need my sleep to help my artistic talent....!!!
Buonanotte,
Miss A
