I'm still here!

Buon giorno from Italy! We have stayed very busy from morning until midnight. Many Rotary clubs meet in the evening starting at 8:00 with dinner and the program is not until after 10:00! After our first presentation in Italian, it was suggested that we do our program in English. But the team wants the challenge and our third presentation was much more fluent. Many of the people we have met want to practice their English skills so we have not been too lost.

We stayed for four days at Minoprio, a horticultural school for 14-17 year olds. Those from outside the area board at the school. The only internet access was in the principal's office. Chris, our computer guru, was able to type his journal and load his pictures each evening and then upload them quickly each morning. You may not see pictures from me until we meet up again at the hotel for District Congress as I have not deciphered how to load my pictures. I was present for most of Chris' pictures so pretend I took them!

The hospitality of all the Rotarians and friends that we have met is very memorable. I look forward to sharing my trip in detail when I get home. Arrivederci!
