Good morning, everyone! Yesterday was one of those days that was pretty much same old, same old.
We woke up, showered, ate breakfast and all left at different times. I am so proud that I don't get lost when they leave me to walk to work alone. It is still very hot and the air conditioning feels so good when we get to ACMT.
We had lunch at Fuego, one of our favorite places. I had my usual vegetarian risotto which is so delicious that I could eat it every day...and pretty much do! "Annette the Adventurous" ordered the seafood sandwich which listed octopus and anchovies or other various oddities of the sea that shouldn't be in a sandwich. It was displayed very nicely on her plate and she kept making little sounds of enjoyment as she ate it. Kudos to Annette - she should get her own show on the Discovery Channel.
Our art class yesterday was interesting. The professor had told the students that she was just going to hit the highlights of the different eras in art; prehistoric, Stone Age...all the way up to the present. Yesterday, she began class by questioning them in detail on characteristics of each period and asking them to name various artists. She would call on them by name to explain something and they all got that deer-in-the-headlights look! She got angry and said she was very disappointed in their responses. I felt bad for them.
We ate supper at an Italian restaurant called Maestoso. I had pasta carbonara which was excellent and Annette had vegetarian risotto!! Guess she was still recovering from her scary lunch.
I had to laugh because two little Asian tourist ladies came in to the restaurant and I thought "How will they ever be able to order?" They looked at the menu and ordered their meals in fluent Italian from the Italian waitress. Talk about stereotyping! I was ashamed of myself.
Today we will be having a short meeting to talk about our field trip to Split on Friday. Split is the second largest city in Croatia after Zagreb and there are many interesting sites. Zoran wants us to see it so we wont think that all of Croatia is quaint like Dubrovnik.
Wow - Italy tonight thru Thursday, field trip to the island on Thursday, Split on Friday. Whew! We are really on the go all the time. It is great and we are loving it!
The musicians were playing as we went to church on Sunday. The gargoyle picture doesn't really do it justice. It was much more impressive in person.
We wont be blogging again until we get some time, so stay tuned!
Love from A and C
