Our last day of classes today — and here they are walking down the hill headed for town this final time (photo 1). But today, instead of walking up the corso to the classroom, we took the (secret) escalators to the top (photo 2; you can see the sequence of escalators to the right, though the upper half are inside the mountain). We held class at the outdoor cafe at the top, workshopping the last two essays by students, then spending time writing toward their last assignment, My Spoleto, a personal guide to the town. Here’s Kelsey (photo 3) and Ashley (photo 4), ruminating yet again.

Headed home in two days; tomorrow is for packing, and a day trip to Assisi —

 

Arrivederci —
