Boomer group started the camp this morning bright and early! Charlotte blessed us with coffee so we didn’t feel super drained for the rest of the day. Today, our camp was split into three rotations. One of the rotations I helped with was the scavenger hunt with Charlotte. Charlotte would read off riddles in English to them and they would have to figure out where in Arezzo the riddle was talking about. There was a misunderstanding when switching groups and the rotations got a little mixed up. It was quickly fixed and everything went smoothly. The kids were understanding of the mix up and were still having such a great time.
After the camp, we went to have lecture with Dr. Cruise. She was so kind enough to buy all of us gelato before class. Today’s class was an introduction into the European Union. Before the class, I knew very little about the EU. I learned that it is an economic and political union with a single market system. It has 28 member states with its headquarters in Belgium.
Our dinner tonight was at the winery. It overlooked Tuscany and you bet I took a thousand pictures of that place. They gave us three wines to try and I bought a rose. They showed us the importance of wine in an Italian meal. They asked for four students to model for their wine magazine. Rhayan, Patrick, Maddie, and I jumped to the occasion and did the photoshoot. It was such a cool and funny experience that I will hold dear to my heart for the rest of my life.
