Wednesday morning!
Today's schedule looks a bit more humane. We actually get a break in the middle of the day. I plan to nap! Amelia, in charge of this program asked us yesterday if we thought they were trying to kill us with the intensity of this program.
Yesterday we divided into groups for afternoon (which turned into evening) trips to various facilities they used for schooling. Liz and Carly went to the Allende school to see their park and I went to Castello Bianello, about a 45 minute bus ride from Reggio, where they take the children for days trips and activities. They use the castle to it's fullest extent creating experiences for the children to learn about Medieval Times. It looked like a wonderful play/work/learning situation. The countryside was beautiful and more what I imagined Italy to be.
We had dinner at a wonderful restaurant right across from our hotel. We declared we were finally in Italy at an Italian restaurant and the first real "meal" we have had in awhile. I think it may be our new hang out!
More later!
PS-Thank goodness for google walking maps! Also, I managed to sneak in a few pictures ( I posted on here) of the Atelier of light at the International Center. Shhhhh....nothing like keeping a secret on the web!
