From Abroad

Not much time because our apartments don’t have wireless (!!!) so I am on Dr. Aman (our assistant faculty leader from WVU)’s MacBook.

After a connection from Pittsburgh, two hours on the tarmac at JFK, a flight to Milan that only involved 30 minutes of sleep, and finally a FIVE hour bus ride into the medival Tuscan town of San Giovanni (forgive any spelling errors this is QUICK) we were settled into our apartment ACROSS TOWN from everyone else. After much talking, they were able to move us into a another apartment in town.

Our cross town adventures were interesting, despite the location. We ventured down to a vending machine to get water and apparently the vending machine is the happening place to be in San Giovanni. We scored some free water (among other things) from the store owner, as well as new friend who worked at the Gucci store and was rather open with us! We were extremely loud and got a tomato thrown at us.

More soon!
