This weekend was packed full of funness. It started out with a day trip to Assisi on Friday. I fell in love with this cute little hillside town--very picturesque and beautiful. St. Francis's church is gorgeous, even his tomb. My photos turned out great, and will be coming. I know I seem like the queen of empty promises when it comes to my photos, but I swear, they do exist! They take a long time to upload so that is why I haven't posted them yet. But soon...and soon has arrived:
Saturday was my trip to Ravenna. It was enjoyable, but I didn't fall in love with the city like I did with Assisi. The mosaics in the churches were amazing though, and I was continually tapped to tell the biblical stories behind each one (12 years of Catholic schooling allowed for that).

That night I went out to a discoteca called "Meccano". It was fun, but a little crazy. Lots and lots of people which meant lots of lines and crowds. It was still fun though and my dancing is improving...somewhat.
I spent all of Sunday doing homework in La Libreria Martelli--it's a cute bookstore with an outdoor cafe. That night I went to church and I am happy to report that I understood most of what the priest was saying, plus I was able to recite some of the prayers (in italian). The church is two blocks from my host family's apartment and has mass four times on Sunday, which is very convenient.
I don't have any trips planned for next weekend, but I hope to get a jump start on some work because in two weeks I head to Rome with my art history class. =)
Ok, time to head home.
Ciao ciao!
Anna =)

sounds like you had an awesome weekend!!! and just for that comment about dancing...when I come, we have to go to a discoteca; there is no option...i need to see this dancing :)
I totally know what you mean about mass; even when I don't catch every word, i still know whats going on, and i did know a lot of the prayers. I guess thats part of why I like the mostly uniform Catholic mass--it's universal (har har har)
loooooove you!!!
