More school. Definitely a nicer class this week and some nice interactions. After school yesterday I went and picked up my dress…it is great, all done, now an even hem and another dress i can wear more. After school there was an excursion around the wall to learn more about Lucca. Keeping in mind how hot it was walking the wall and keeping in mind that everything is in Italian and that I understand about 50% (better than weeks ago I guess), it was nonetheless really interesting and there were lovely people to chat to as we went around. We went to an amazing church Chiesa della Rosa, which is never open but the teacher knew it was open for a short time yesterday so we went there. It was quite magical, built into ancient Roman walls. Apparently there are a lot of these churches in Lucca that aren’t open to the public and that you have to find a time when there is a concert or something in them to get inside. There is another I have my eye on! Anyway after the walk (only half way around the wall) I took myself off and got myself a Spritz….I felt I deserved it!!
I then came home and cooled off with the air-con thing and watched more episodes of The Vikings!! Today the school excursion is to the beach at Viareggio but I’m not going to go. Not my sort of group excursion!!
It is morning and I’m heading off to school in a minute via cappuccino and cornetto!!
All being well Chris will be here tomorrow.
