So we are getting into our pace at Orvieto, the typical schedule is:
8:30 -11:30 Drawing
Lunch
12:30-2:30 Drawing
3:00-5:00 Italian
7:45 Dinner
9ish Freedom
Almost every night me and some of the girls have gone out on the town to fully experience this journey, and its fair to say that the Italians wait till night to come out. At about 11pm the streets are crowded and full of people have a great time.
Last night we met up with the waiters from our 2nd dinner which was at the Zepplin (great food). Of the waiters, interestingly enough, none are Italian. There is one Albanian who only speaks Italian and the other 3-4 are American and are living in Orvieto for free and being paid $5 a day. Anywho,s we met up with them and our teacher walked by trying to get minutes put onto his phone, Eris (the Albanian) took about 30s on the phone and it was working fine (amazing what one can do who understands the automated Italian message).
After that we wandered down the via and went to a nice wine bar. Many bottles of wine later I discovered that they had a bottle of Lambrusco wine, so I certainly got that and the table enjoyed it. I also found out sadly that the Lambrusco wine is not.. really favored over here... °sigh°
It was a good night, and hanging out with Italians is awesome, you can really learn a lot of the language that way.
Anyways, no pics today, I forgot to bring the card reader to the school, but I can assure you that this town is awesome.
