One weekend trip down, only a couple more to go. Time seems to be flying by. Students returned to Bergamo after visits to Prague, Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Florence, and Milan. Everyone came back with great stories and even better pictures.
Wednesday evening we had a pizza party at Da GiGi restaurant, a pizzeria known for their meter long pizza! It is Maura Cavalone, the Italian counterpart to the study abroad programs, "favorite pizza in the world". At this party we sampled all different kinds of pizza, even American flavor (pizza with hotdogs and french fries on top...not the best representation!) To finish off the celebration we exchanged T-Shirts with the Italian students. We gave them a Mizzou T-Shirt and they presented us with a Bergamo University one, tons of pictures were taken of course.
Thursday marks our second free day. Many students are traveling to Venice, which will be a perfect day to do so as the weather continues to be great. Others are staying in Bergamo to discover what the city has to offer, talks of a visit to the public pool are starting. The weather here has been super hot, so a visit to a pool sounds like a good idea to everyone.
Friday, students will venture out across Europe again on their weekend visits. There is a large group headed to Barcelona, Spain to get a little sun. This weekend is special due to an Italian holiday on Tuesday, so we have an extra day to explore.
Stay posted for pictures of the pizza party and weekend visits, once they get on Shutterfly we can put them on the blog!
