Time really is flying by now. It's hard to believe that we really have only a week left in Italy before we commence our long journey home.
At the moment the students are in the Language Lab for their last session for the week. I decided that we all needed a bit of culture so after lunch today we checked out the National Gallery of Umbria, which is bursting with amazing paintings by people like Fra' Angelico and Piero della Francesca. Michelle and I made a purchase for our new Language Centre - a picture of 'The Annunciation' by Fra'Angelico since our building will be named in honour of St Gabriel. From the sublime to the ridiculous, the students then rushed off to the laundromat to ensure clean clothes for our trip up to Venice tomorrow. Much to their shock, a 6am bus ride to the station awaits them, but then I think there might be a little bit of snoozing on the train. We're back on Sunday night, so no doubt I'll do a big update at the start of next week. Tonight we're dining out to have a typical Umbrian dish called 'torta al testo', perhaps followed by a crepe or two. Then it will be time for a quick passeggiata before a very early night. Venice, via Verona, beckons!
