We have moved from Bergamo to Monza and head to the District Congress on Saturday. Rotary last night was amazing as they had 23 young people in attendance. At least two had studied for nine months overseas, two were headed overseas, and most of the others had been to Rotary summer camps in foreign countries. They were inspiring.
Our tutor in Monza likes to walk so we walked over 3 miles along the River Adda to see the dam, locks, and ferry inspired by DaVinci. Then today we walked all over Montevecchio, a regional park. The long walk was after the tour and lunch at the vineyard so it was an adventure. We have also toured the Cathedral of Monza and its museum. It has a crown from the sixth century that has an iron strip running around the inside which is attributed to one of the nails used to crucify Christ. Even without the tradition, the crown was beautiful and very antique.
Our host families have been very hospitable. Each family has its own personality which makes for great memories. I have 389 pictures after three weeks so be prepared. Ciao!
