Today was a good day—we got a walking tour of the city and I just about died from its beauty. I am overwhelmed by how amazing it is here. The architects of this city took their time to mention every detail in their work. Our bedroom ceiling has an ornate painted design. The bases that hold statues have gold etchings. No part of this city was ignored. It is all so beautiful! After our tour, we went to the ACCENT office (the coordinating group for my trip) and did orientation of what the culture differences are like—I now know why no one is smiling back at me on the street.
Also, it rains so much! I luckily wore my rain boots and raincoat, but it makes it difficult to look around when I am busy try to shield myself from the rain. My pants get wet and I become SO cold. But still, it’s not like a torrential downpour, I’ll make it work.
Nothing too exciting yet, but trust me, I’ll do my best to provide better stories next time
With love from Italy
