As you may have heard on the news, it's snowing here. It's nice to see the town and the country side covered in a blanket of snow, but man is it putting a damper on things here. The market was closed on Thrusday morning, our trip to Assisi on friday was postponed, and the Market on Saturday was closed too! We've been experiencing a little bit of cabin fever because we had a three day weekend but it was too cold to go anywhere. On Saturday we did manage to get dressed and out of the house by 11:30 and went to visit some of the museums here on the hill. After a fancy lunch we came back home and watched a couple movies online and snuggled up on the couch with the oven on and the doors closed. Saturday night we went out to celebrate a friends birthday and met some more locals.
Today, Sunday, I went to church at the Duomo! It was my first time in the cathedral which made the experience even more amazing. I was able to follow along a little, but I mostly just listened. My friend Elise came with. It was her first time at a Catholic mass, I thought that was an appropriate place to attend your first mass. After chuch I came home and cleaned the kitchen which was a disaster zone, made some noodles and now I'm blogging!
Here are some snow pictures!
Snowing outside our favorite spot for a Cappuchino.
You know, just the view on the way to school.
Snow in the courtyard of Centro Studi. Yes, that is a palm tree with snow on it!
First day of snow.
Second day of snow!
Me :) This is about a block from our apartment. At the base of the wall is one of the main roads up to the hill town. It's where those statues above are the ornamentation of a large arch over the road.
Our cute blue door in the snow. It leads to the tunnel into the courtyard we share with our neighbors.
Ciao!
