Weekend Rush

So the weekend is an interesting time around the Centro. Usually the student population is decreased, since many people take the opportunity to travel. The people who stay lounge around spending hours doing the reading for The City course. Everyone around here works, it's pretty remarkable. When they're not being dilligent a lot of people explore the city. Every weekend feels like an uphill battle, however, because of the amount of translation and reading. It has been a good weekend though. No rain, which instantly makes it wonderful. The weather is still in that perfect range of not too hot but not really cold.

I've done a lot of work today and so as planned I'm going to the Sicilian resturant (the one mentioned in a previous post). We've been trying to spread around our money and eat at different resturants as much as possible, but tonight I have an intense desire for the ravioli again. I'm really looking forward to that followed by an episode of Grey's Anatomy. We've been slowly working our way through the second season on DVD. (Thank you Aunty Lee!!).

Friday morning we leave for Sicily and I might be MIA for the duration of the trip. It's going to be an exhausting few weeks...

Here are a few extra pictures from last week:
These are walls of a temple at Cosa. The way the stones are put together is called opus mixtum. Yeah I had to look that up... Libby knew (Faith and I didn't).

This is my friend Libby. She knows things. Look she's even learning things in this picture (not posed). We are on the bus. We are on the bus a lot actually.

Faith is hugging an olive tree. She loves olives... A LOT.
