Sunday at Elizabeth's

On Sunday, the group was invited to Elizabeth’s house for a picnic and just time to hangout as a group. Elizabeth has an amazing house out in the countryside near Florence. While it was quite an adventure actually getting there on the unpaved roads on the bus, the scenery and food was worth it.
We had several kinds of lasagna, chicken and other sides for lunch. Apple pie, cheesecake, and chocolate salami for desert, and then we played a bit of soccer before going inside for a sing-along with our Italian teachers, several of whom could play pretty much anything on the guitar. We sang a ton of classic songs, and then as the finale for our afternoon, we got to see Elizabeth’s flag twirling team perform for us.
The afternoon was a great group event and a lot of fun for everyone. Now it’s the school week, and classes are officially starting.
