Coredo e San Romedio

Today was molto bello! I slept until 10:30 and by the time I was ready it was almost lunch time. We wate pasta with meat sauce. I watched a little bit of the Simpsons in Italian and then I skyped home. It was strange speaking in English after being surrounded by Italian 24-7. Then we went back to Cles to catch the bus and go to a town called Coredo. It was about a 30 minute drive and we took a tour at an agricultural museum. On the first floor there were all the tools and living supplies that the people living in the house used. The major family of the town lived here with their servants. On the second floor is a museum that has folklore costumes from around the world. Every year there is a festival and the museum puts on display the the costumes of the countries that participate.

Then we visited an old house (Palazzo Assessorile)where they tortured witches like in the Salem Witch Trials. After that we took a long walk through the woods and by a lake to visit San Romedio, a sanctuary on a cliff. The path there was suer steep, but luckily I did not fall! There were many steps to get to the top of the sanctuary, but it was worth it. The view was both scary and breath taking. At the top you could see down the cliff. We met the bus there and took it back to the school. When we got back to the house it was time for dinner. We had spinach gnocchi! They were amazing. Her mother made them by hand. I listened to a conversation at the dinner table about Bolivia that I half understood, but that was completely fine with me because I like just being surrounded with the Italian language. Then we watched the end of Mission Impossible 2, but her father said that he does not like American movies because they are too exaggerated.

Now I am just sitting her realizing that this post is very long and that you probably got bored reading it. I'll just leave you with a fun fact: Fanta Orange Soda is not like it is in America; it's bubbly orange juice.
