Cari Amici di Spoleto:

School again, though I was sick with some sort of stomach thing for most of the day. This meant postponing my morning class, Tony teaching in the afternoon, and then my doing my shtick in a diminished state in the late afternoon. But classes met, work was accomplished, students wrote.

Then, after classes were over and we’d made a trip down to the Coop, the grocery store at the bottom of the hill (I’ll get some pics from there soon!) for supplies, the students and the Varallos put on a potluck breakfast-for-dinner. Much fun and camaraderie and good food, and that sunset thrown in too.

Ciao—

Colazione-per-cena!
