Dear Reader(s),
Previously in my life...
Sig. Setti has given my number to another Italian mamma who would like to use my 'skills and abilities' as she put it, to help her daughters' education. I now have two more students, Sara and Martina, (ages 12 and 15) who want me for an hour a week to teach English conversation, grammar and pronunciation, along with help with their piano practice. I went to Sig. Richeldi's apartment on Monday to have a meeting and talk logistics, and it is such a beautiful apartment. Like the Setti's, the Richeldi's clearly have a lot of money, their apartment is right in the centre of the centro, literally on Via Emilia, and above the clothing shop 'Stefanel'. It is modern and monochrome, not to my taste, but still beautiful.
The excitement that is pretty much consuming me today is the fact that Matt Funnell will be with me in Italy in exactly 24 hours. Our plan is:
~ Meet in Bologna airport
~ Take a train to Firenze
~ Spend three days in Firenze seeing the sites; I never thought I'd be lucky enough to see the Statue of David twice in my life
~ Take a train to Modena
~ Spend two days in Modena, I will show him Baluardo and the other attractions
~ Say good bye on Monday morning :(
Today is my first lesson with Sara.
A presto...
