June 8th

We finally arrived in Italy after a long and endless flight. upon arriving we were greeted by Gian Mario and Francesca who work at the CCA. They treated us to a lovely picnic with fresh fruit and sandwiches. We then headed to an archeological site at Villa Adriana. However, we only saw a model since it began to hail, which is not a common occurrence. On the bright side we got to play with a cat. After a long ride up the mountain, we arrived at the convent and met Roberto and his wife, Andreina. Then we picked our rooms and were treated to an amazing home-cooked meal of mushroom and truffle risotto, pork, and potatoes. After 2 days of no sleep we were finally given the opportunity to rest.
