This afternoon after an brief introduction to each of our classes, we embarked on a beautiful afternoon trip through a series of mountain villages that surround an inactive volcanic lake. First of all everything was so incredibly beautiful that it was hard to take it all in! But I got delicious Caffe Viennese gelato and sampled some of the local strawberries that that area is known for. (They are tiny but definitely pack a lot of flavor!)
After all of our driving around these mountain towns, one of which called Casteli Gandalfo includes the summer residence of Pope Benedict XVI, complete with Swiss Guards!
The afternoon was wrapped up with a filling and cultural traditional meal at De Agnese. Then I went wading in the lake, unfortunately because it was dark I didn't want to try swimming but I plan to revisit this close locale!
