Our Final Days…
Well here we are, our final days - what can be said to express our feelings and and capture the sentimentality of this unique experience? Our final days leave us with a bittersweet happiness and a sense of accomplishment. It was indeed a grand experience.
Some of us have had our challenges – but, in the end, there were moments to remember:
land and the age the historical landmarks. Our stomachs have savored the food.
Our hearts have fallen in love with Italy.
Well here we are, our final days - what can be said to express our feelings and and capture the sentimentality of this unique experience? Our final days leave us with a bittersweet happiness and a sense of accomplishment. It was indeed a grand experience.
We have eaten, waltzed, talked, explored, shopped and danced through our time in Monopoli.
Some of us have made new friends with the teachers and students with whom we have worked. Others have made new friends with members of the team. Whether it’s eating la colazione, il pranzo or la cena or sharing la caraffa de vino rosso, we talk as though we’ve known each other a long time. |

Some of us have had our challenges – but, in the end, there were moments to remember:
· Jeri & Phyllis lost; being escorted back to the hotel by middle school girls
· Lisa’s ballroom dancing debut
· Grace and Michael had a pizza party with students and teacher, Rosa
· Jeri’s marathon walks with teachers, Gratzia and Antonia
· The smile on Katia’s face as she practiced her new English
· Jan’s daily encounter with her cadre of adult students
· And, of course, our cultural exchange with the teachers and students
Our photo ops have captured the handsome faces of the people, the beauty of the land and the age the historical landmarks. Our stomachs have savored the food.
Our hearts have fallen in love with Italy.
!Arreiverderci La Bella Italia! !Bon Viaggio a Tutti!
