Gelato Galore.

The past couple of days have been a blast. Last night a group of us took a late night walk to get some gelato. It is so interesting to see that so many places are closed so early in Italy, unlike PA where things are open and people are running around until all hours of the night. It is very relaxing to see people just out and about for the pleasure of just being outside and enjoying the night. We just sat on steps in a beautiful square and enjoyed eachother's company. We even got the oppourtunity to speak with a classmates roomate who knows both Italian and English, and we were able to ask him many questions about the Italian culture, and what he thinks of the American culture. It was a great, relaxing, and informative night. I really had a wonderful time.

Today we were lucky enough, as the post below me states, to visit Santa Guilia Museum, and learned all about the history of brescia. It was cool to see where it started, and how similar it is to where we are now. We are really staying  in a place that is timeless, the buildings are old but so incredibly beautiful. We saw a church with images on the walls that blew my mind. I feel so lucky to have been able to view and learn all the sites and ruins of Brescia.  (Although the tour could have gone a little faster.) Either way it was a great experience....

Ciao for now!! Hope the US is treating you good...
