Buono Sera!
Here i am after spending one week in Italy. We've spent the week studying Italian language as well Art history, particularly that of the Romans and Eutruscans. Extremely awesome stuff that these ancient civilizations were able to accomplish.
A little scope of our situation here, We are staying at a place known as the Villa De Pieve which is about 10 or so miles form the town of Perugia. The villa is also nearby a small village called Cortiano which is within walking distance for us, so we like to head up there (passing vineyards on the way) to eat gelato or have a few well timed drinks from the Orange Bar.
Just yesterday (sat) we toured the city of Perugia with our knowledgeable host Rosella who's family owns the Villa.
After pizza, museums and shopping in Perugia, its safe to say that I will be going back!
Tomorrow the group is bound for the Island of Sicily where we will begin our studies. We are each allowed 20 lbs of luggage on the jet so we are traveling light!
again... Anxious to try some ocean fishing in the Mediterranean!
TTFN... Ta Ta for now,
Ciao!
One of the Kittens... probably the most commonly photographed objects on the trip thus far.

And the Rest are scenes from Perugia! Though they may not do the city justice.
Hi Michael, So happy to see the new photos. It looks beautiful there. Hope your week goes well and you continue to learn the language and experience the amazing culture and beauty of Italy. The Godfather was from Sicily, watch out for the Andoleni's!
