Traveling around the city

Today we took our first guided bike ride around the town. We rode throughout the town, learning where everything was located from where we had to class to where mass was held (both Latin and English). We even got to check out a Ferrari Car show located in the Piazza Paolo VI (town square) right outside of the Paolo VI Cathedral. Afterwards we all tried our first gelatos, which are much softer and in my opinion much better than the ice cream and/or water ice from America. I got to meet the gelato maker. He said that they make everything fresh every morning and right in the back of the store with fresh fruit. After this we were allowed to go as we pleased. Myself along with a couple other students decide to explore more of the town and expand the area of our known region. It is absolutely beautiful here, but also not too different from an American city. Here in Brescia, everything is just much more consolidated; better dressed, family oriented and a lot more people smoke cigarettes. So far everything is going well!
