We went to Orvieto Saturday morning with the hopes of putting up a fight at the Castiglion F.no – Orvieto soccer match. It was sunny and warm with just a slight breeze, another beautiful day in Italy. The boys (and Diana) warmed up for the game while the rest of the cheering section got a bite to eat and bought some oranges for the boys (and Diana) for half time. The people not playing just chatted on the side lines and soaked up the sun – I can now wear shorts without blinding everyone in sight! Our teachers came with us – Chip kept the time and took video of the game, while Jim and Maggie felt like the parental support. As for the result of the game, well, we at least made it on the score board. After the game the athletic ones formed a little tournament and played around for another hour or so, and we just hung out outside as much as we could.
After a siesta during the afternoon we freshened up and went to Pizzeria Charlie’s for dinner. They had a table set up for us outside, with 43 seats in the shape of a giant L. The waiter went around the entire table, and when he got to the end he joked, “Now my job is done!” My pizza was delicious and afterwards we went to the girl’s house and made some Sangria. The whole bunch of us that were in town gathered there for a while, before going to Beer House, where we were greeted with the entire Green Day album.
The next morning the girls made us French toast and fruit salad – yum! Then we walked to the soccer field and laid in the sun some more. We caught the 2:00 train home, and have been catching up on editing pictures and blogging since then. All this nice weather is really taking a toll on my productivity, but on the flip side I’m getting a lot more Vitamin D.
