Beautiful Italy

So I learned since I sent my first blog that I mispelled ciao so please forgive me. I have some mixed emotions about Sansepolcro. It is gorgeous and I am having a good time but I also have a few things I dont like. The most surprising thing has been the lack of welcome from the locals. I thought that they would be really nice and friendly but aparently that just isnt Italian culure. Im used to the South where a friendly smile or wave is expected. Some people here are very nice but its obvious that some people arent too thrilled about us being here. I wish I knew Italian better so that I could communicate and hear what they were saying about us. I also miss AC. These past few days have been pretty hot. It isnt too bad in the Servi but it would be nice to come back from a walk and enter into a really cool building. Well now that I have gotten a few of my complaints out of the way, I will tell you about the exciting things that have happened.

All of my days have blurred together so forgive me. We went to church on Sunday and we started classes. WOW! Church was an experience. I thought the Catholic church here would be very formal but it is not at all. People come dressed in whatever and go and come as they please. Children run wild and it is really distracting. I guess it is just normal for them but this would not fly at High Street for sure. ONe little boy was in a stroller infront of us and he was adorable(His Dad was pretty cute too) but they let him just kinda roam around after he got fussy in the stroller. He ran down a ways and no one said anything. Other children were walking around too. People would stand at times or if everyone was standing, people would just sit down. It was so different from my church. We had classes that day which went well. I am enjoying what we are learning I just wish we didnt have readings and assignments to do because I want to get out and enjoy Sansepolcro.
Today we went to Casa Buitoni! You should google it and see if any pictures come up because it was AMAZING. I took pictures and will so them to everyone when i get home. It is a huge Villa up on the moutain overlooking SAN. We lived like princesses for a few hours. It was a hike up to the casa and down but it was well worth it. They greeted us with drinks and refreshments---the best strawberries I have ever had. Then they took us on a tour of the facility. It is owned by Nestle now and that have conference rooms and a state of the art kitchen to test new foods. Google it. Then they served us lunch...WHAT A SPREAD! After this wonderful time, we had to go to class. Now we are running errands around town. Hope all is well at home!
