Fresco, All in a Days Work
So today I had my first fresco class. It was great. The teachers are Mario and Luigi, no I am not making that up! I will get to that class after I tell you about the very busy morning I had. So I had to get up at around 7 am to go to the lab and get some blood work done. So I did that and it was no big deal as always. They were very nice and the girl helping me kept giggling because she didn't really know English. Today we were supposed to be at SACI at 8 am for police sign in for our permit to stay. I was very happy because I received the letter that Mom was sending me from the US just in time. So I got to SACI at about 8:05 and sat in the lecture hall for about 20 minutes while they signed us all in. Then I had to figure out where to go for my fresco class that starts at 9. I found out that we were meeting at SACI main building then going over. Good thing because the fresco studio is on the other side of the river. We got there after walking around for a bit by bus. Unfortunately I have no idea where the bus stop was. I will find it by Friday. The class is small, only about 7 of us total. We learned how to prep the wall and we each prepped out own tiles. We also did a drawing that we will be frescoing. Mario made us all coffee and showed us where to go for lunch. It was great. After class I went to the post office to mail some stuff home. I was so lost as to how to do it because post offices are different here and everything is in Italian. I got lucky and saw someone from SACI. So we both figured it out together. After we walked to SACI then I decided to go for a walk of my own. I had a pretty good day today until I started with my current headache. My stomach is feeling better to the point that I can eat now. I am looking forward to sleeping soon and sleeping in tomorrow. However, I am not logging off just yet because I am fighting with our wifi so that I can video chat with Chris.
