James Joyce Lyceum & Ninfa Gardens.


Yesterday we went back to the school as a whole group. Some 5th year students gave us a tour and told us about their school. Then we all went into a classroom with a bunch of students and had time to talk together. This was such a fun time! The Italian students speak such great English and wanted to talk about all different things like American TV and music and what they want to do when they graduate. We are going to try to go out to dinner with them one night.
Today we went to Ninfa Gardens. Nana, I thought about you the whole time. It was the most beautiful, picturesque place. It's really neat because it's an ancient Roman city so old building are left with a new garden planted all around it.
Next we visited another local completely organic winery where we had a tour, a delicious lunch and a tasting.
Now we are packing for spring break and enjoying our very last night in the hotel. It's bittersweet because moving into the palace is going to be so great while leaving the hotel is sad. The staff here has been so sweet to us, and I am really going to miss someone making me coffee in the morning.
At 5am we will be on our way to the airport for Paris!!!!! I'll write about my traveling adventures as soon as I get back.
On a deeper note... one Bible verse that continues to be brought to my mind here is Psalm 63:3... Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. Considering how great my life is and has been this verse really speaks to me. His love does not even compare. :)
Love everyone...
