Wednesday, Sept 3


School has officially started--both for the BC students and for the Newtons.  The Newton kids are not too happy that vacation is actually over.  They seem to think that they should still be on vacation since we are away from home.  The BC students have a bit better attitude about their schoolwork.  I am enjoying meeting the students and the kids are in friend-heaven.  They have been playing non-stop with college students.  When they're not playing cards (memory, Cash, Golf, etc) or ping pong, they're finding a spot beside someone new at the dining room table or on the bus on the way to Florence.  We have been going into Florence every day just to get used to doing it and to learn our way around.  Soon we'll be starting our cultural classes with museums and artwork, etc.  This Saturday we are planning a day in Orvieto for a street-performer festival.
