Italia! Giorno Quattro

Hi everyone! I made it safely and it is SO beautiful here. I have mostly been walking around with my roomates checking out everything there is to see. Here is a brief summary>

Day 1 We settled into our appartment which is a walkup with two floors of rooms. I met one of the neighbors, Adriana, and she showed me her flower pots. I got to use my Italian yay. I had some cherry gelato, but it tasted like vanilla. I learned that I need to "gusto" before I decide which one to try. We had pizza for dinner at a restaurant in a cave. The wait staff was very moody and did not appreciate our attempts at Italian, but we sure had a great time trying.

Day 2 More exploration of Orvieto. I like to try menu options even if I don't know what they are. I ordered "Insalata tonno e pomodoro" Pomodoro means tomato and I found out tonno means tuna fish. It was good and served with bread. I had Umbrichelli all'Orvietanna for dinner- spice thich spaghetti type pasta yum! I bought lotion, but it is actually soap.

Day 3 There was a festival- Palombella. A dove descends a zipline in a little tube and lots of firecrackers go off. Then two men carry the dove to the priest who presents it. The dove represents the holy spirit. I found a delicious patiseria near our appartment. Tried for breakfast.. very delicious! Also went to the supermercato down the hill. We took a tram and got very lost but eventually found it. More gelato- best ever Hazelnut with nutella mixed in.

Day 4 Today we had a meeting to get our class schedules etc. I have Classics from 12 to 1 and English from 430 to 530. Very excited! Haven't started any of my novels. Oh well, there are more important things to do.

PS( excuse the punctuations, the computer is Italian and very difficult.

I can't figure out how to upload pictures???? Hopefully soon
