Ciao Rennies!

As mia madre said I made it to Italia in one piece. Arezzo - the place I am staying at - is very cute. I have Italian class for three hours each morning then rehearsals/coaching/lessons in the afternoon. Last weekend Arezzo had their annual La Giostra aka joust - it was...wow! All the noble families dressed up to watch, there was flag tossing and of course jousting! Sadly my quarter (Arezzo is divided into four quarters) was the first to get pulled out. (tear) On our "field trips" I have gotten to see Firenze and Siena! In Siena, I got to see Saint Catherine's head and John the Baptist forearm which quite frankly was pretty gross, but interesting.  This weekend I will be headed to Pisa!

Hugs and Pixie Dust!

Yours Truly,
