Day One

So my first offcial day the the school where I woke up in my room and got to see my very own studio was amazing. My room is small and I'll admit it - a bit chilly at night. It is a beautiful building, but it is a no frills, simple kind of existence. Let's just say it feels like the converted convent it once was. The people in the town are incredibly nice. Everybody says "Buongiornio" during the day, or "Buon Sera" at night, or sometimes just "Sera," which I think is the equivalent of "Evening." I spent a bit of time just hanging out in the main town square, watching the locals basically just chill out and catch up with each other. The square is surrounded by the town on three sides, one of which is the main church. The other side of the square is bordered by the outer wall of the town. The wall is low enough to sit on and you have a front seat to the MOST BEAUTIFUL VIEW IMAGINABLE. I am not kidding people - it's amazing. You're basically standing at the top of this huge hill looking at the surrounding hills and valleyes. Everything is green farmland, lovely cypress trees, and the occasional house. On a distnat hill top I can see another town as old as ours. I am having some majpor issues up[loading pictures but I think I will have that solved this afternoon. In the mean time, just imagine how pretty it is.
