Determined to seize the day my roommates and I planned to wake up at 9:00 am. As Alicia and I were sound asleep, we heard the booming of large bells. It droned on for what felt like forever, but was truly 15 minutes. I am now wide-awake and yell out “WHAT IN GOD’s NAME IS THAT….oh right…its Sunday…it must be mass at the corner Church.” Alicia nodded in agreement and we passed out again for another few hours. A second round of mass must have gone by since the bells erupted again through our window.
Finally, rising out of a deep slumber, we look at the clock and realize its 2:00 IN THE AFTERNOON! Shoot, we overslept.
Everyone overslept as well so it was good to be on the same page. The group met at the Duomo at 3 and went around the city again for another mini adventure. We spent most of the day on the old Bridge and on our side of the city. Our last part of our mini walk through the city was at the church near our apartment. The Basicilia de si Spirto was beyond beautiful. The walls were sectioned off into mini scenes from the bible. It was breath taking. I feel like I overuse these expressions but I am running out of words to explain how amazing everything is here!
We stayed at home tonight to start working on homework (ew) and make pasta for dinner. Sort of excited for class tomorrow…hopefully it won’t ruin all the fun we are having.
Ciao!

PS Don’t worry; I will definitely have an alarm clock set for tomorrow’s class.
