Free Time

Today was my first free day, and having worked six hours yesterday in preparation, we were all very excited for this time off. We started out with a hike to a waterfall. It was about an hour up into a gorge in the steep mountains. Although steep, it mostly in the shade. At the very end you have to follow the creek bed, because the gorge becomes so narrow. (I hope to post some pictures in the next few days). Some of us wore our bathing suits, but it the water was too icy to do more than wade.

Afterwards, we ate a bit of lunch. Then I took a nap and tried to memorize some more Italian words. We ended the day at Park Bridge Pizzeria, where I got a pizza bianca (no marinara sauce) with arugula, tomatoes, and Parmesan.

But speaking of bathing suits, tomorrow we will actually use them. Anna is taking the volunteers to the sea. After we spend a couple hours cleaning for the guests, we'll drive down to Gaeta for the rest of the day.

Buona Sera!
