Today wasn't very eventful, but it went well overall. We went to church at the Florence Church of Christ, and stayed after the service for a potluck. Now, potlucks here are not like they are in the states. Families don't all bring a dish and then go through a line, taking a scoop of everything on the table. Here, the first course (pasta) is brought out to you. Then you go get in line for the second course (meat). And you don't get up and leave after you're done eating. The Italian people believe in taking hours for a meal so that there is time to talk with one another. It was nice to be able to sit and process for awhile with people from our group, along with some people from the church.
We came back to the Bible school after church to pick up our stuff and head to the Villa. Because the weather was still pretty, we decided to just walk from the gelato shop where we stopped for some Italian indulgence over to the villa. It wasn't the fastest way to get there, but it was nice to just walk and talk. There isn't a ton of one-on-one time with anyone here, so it was refreshing to just manage one conversation. Plus the sun was close to setting, so it made for beautiful scenery.
I wrote my story, edited video for my story, Skyped with my mom and chatted with a few friends on Facebook. It felt satisfying to be productive and finally see my post on the Link.
I'm excited to see what tomorrow will bring!
