Things have kind of slowed down a bit and I am thankful for that. Yesterday we had a field trip to Ravenna and it was so relaxing. Definitely the most relaxing field trip we’ve had yet. It was so laid back and less structured than previous trips, especially the trip to Rome. Everyone in Ravenna rides around on bicycles or walks. I saw only one car yesterday and one vespa. It was so neat to see everyone on bikes.

This weekend I’m staying pretty local. I woke up this morning feeling a little sick. I’m hoping it is just allergies and the change in the weather and not the little bug that seems to be circulating around Santa Chiara. I spent about two hours at Hermes Café, drinking hot green tea and working on my bible study. I think I’m beginning to see what it is really like to be clothed in strength and dignity (Proverbs 31). But of course I’m always learning and there’s still much to learn.

This afternoon Peter Lang is taking us to Arezzo. Not really sure what he wants to do with us there. I guess we’ll see. I don’t feel well though.
