Well, we've been in Perugia for a week already - time is flying by. Classes have started and everyone is getting used to different teaching styles (scary Ersilia and fun Luisa for the students, while Michelle has Marcella aka 'Loud and Louder' due to her vocal strength). Classes go for 50 minutes, all in Italian, with a 10 minute break to run down to the uni bar for a coffee and a snac
k before the next round starts. At the moment, the kids are all doing a session in the Language Lab where they get to work on their pronunciation. Listening to the tape and then recording your own version is quite entertaining, especially if the teacher is listening in and you have n
o idea that she can listen to people at random. No doubt, we'll hear all about it when the class is over. Rebecca and Sharon are also hugely excited because tonight's free movie at the uni is one of their favourite films, Tre Metri sopra il Cielo. Frances will be bit envious back home perhaps. Yesterday, Lori departed for her early return to Australia, via Frankfurt. She should be just about in Adelaide by now, and reliving her stories of meeting her Italian family members with everyone back home.

Tomorrow we're off to Florence so there will be a lot more to report on when we return. In the meantime, enjoy the photos of us enjoying life here in Perugia!
