I learned so much today. We went on a walking tour of the city with our two Italian professors, Lorenzo and Matilda. We saw a lot of the things that I saw the first time I was here. Tina and I both knew a lot of the history behind what they were showing us, and both teachers were impressed that we had seen so much already.
We had a question time, which was really great for information about what to do, what not to do, where to shop, what to eat, etc.
After that we watched an Italian movie, (it was interesting I suppose....) to help us start to hear the language and relate it to the english words we know.
After all the learning. We came back to the apartment, had some supper and went to bed.
Unfortunately now I am awake again.
Who would have thought that sleeping here would be so hard? Down below our window is a market of sorts that sets up around 5:30am and takes down around 8:00pm. Tonight I went to bed around nine, but the sounds from the people in the streets below are so loud, it is hard to fall asleep even if I am tired. And if I do fall asleep even now, I know that in about 4 hours I will wake up again to the sounds of the market setting up. Something to get used to. I am looking forward to when I quit jet lagging and start sleeping well.
Tomorrow we spend the day in Cortona.
