First Day of School!

Ciao!

We are now at the University for our first day of classes! The students were on the buses to class at 7:30 am!

After arriving Sunday, the group went to dinner at a local restaurant for dinner sponsored by Mizzou. We enjoyed a meal of pasta and wine like true Italians.

Yesterday we went exploring in Bergamo. We went to Porta Nuova (downtown) and to Citta Alta (the high city) and had our first taste of REAL Italian Pizza!

Last night we had an orientation at the University where the professors introduced themselves and we had appetizers with the Italian students. After, we headed out to Citta Alta again to have dinner and enjoy the beautiful weather we are having at an outdoor bar.

Today we are at the University for a 3 hour class taught by an Mizzou professor and another 3 hour class taught by an Italian professor. It should be a loooooong day!
