Little Towns

Yesterday our class went to Urbino. It is a town with more college students than normal residents (kinda like a town I know in NC). Anyways, it was beautiful and mostly an uphill trek. The reason we went there was because, one of our readings The Courtier by Castiglione was written and set in Urbino.  Needless to say, it was super cool to be able to discuss a literary work in the palace that it was set.

Today, however, was less cultural. After a lot of phone calls we made a reservation at the Perugina Chocolate Factory. Other than seeing how and where they make the chocolate you can test some samples as well. I tested a little too much so I have a belly ache now. Luckily, I'm still hungry enough to eat some sweet-n-sour chicken. I'll be back stateside in one week! The time has flown by. Ciao!
