…we have left the back drop of Firenze in all its glory where your sons mastered the art of bargaining for leather, accessories, and the joy of bartering for umbrellas! You can be so proud of your sons using the Italian that they know, connecting with those people that are new to them, and you can be sure that they have become superb managers of their financial empires.
…our art, music, and drama stars have travelled by bus through the stunning country side of mountains, fog, and snow! We found amusement in seeing a hedge hog, a most beloved dog being walked in a stroller, and country villas that would take your breathe away.
…at each bus break your sons are filling ‘both legs’ with more pasta, pizza, and chocolate. The smiles are wide and the laughter his hearty. It is so wonderful to see them organize themselves and make the most of their experiences here in Italy.
…the arrival to Venice is magical: the country roads are narrow with pin turns. We get the chance to take in the country side which is a unique experience: fruit trees and burst of sun rays that light up the villas. One villa after another along the road side are characteristic to this region and we are so fortunate to have the opportunity to stay in one. The name of our hotel is ‘Hotel Park’.
…the bus takes us through a most narrow wrought iron gate, and we are greeted with a formal garden and statues: a heavenly arrival. The terrazzo floor has an incredible shield inlay which is light up by the Venetian glass chandeliers.
…how fantastic is it to be in a city where you have the option to take a boat to the airport! This is the kind of beauty that enraptures the heart and soul: no cars in the heart of the city, and to cross the ‘road’ one has to take a boat! Fortunately, the boys had the experience of taking our coach to the water taxis, and from their travelling to the Rialto Bridge in three water taxis with their instruments!
…the church that awaited our arrival was near the Rialto Bridge: how fantastic is that! To be thirteen years of age, and performing in a building that was built in the 14th century, with a ‘Titian’ as their backdrop is too fantastic! The name of the church was called Chiesa di S. Giovanni Elemosinario. The concert was wonderful as was the crowd; many visitors came in to take in your boys in action.
…be well, and we shall be in touch tomorrow!

Wow! You may not know how much we are waiting for the daily update of your wonderful pictures. It is great! It must be very late at night the teachers get rest, but you never forget to update this blog! I can feel as if I also were there with you all thanks to you :)
We greatly appreciate the teachers' effort to guard the boys everyday and move, move, move! Thank you so much. I hope everyone enjoy to the last minutes and have the great memory forever! Have fun!!!
