Whoo, a live update for once! Haha. I've just been spending the last few hours online because it's gotten so sunny and hot the past couple of days, which means going outside before 6 or 7 p.m. is really hot...(even though that's what I did yesterday, haha.)
After lunch yesterday (which may have been the best lunch we've ever had here: potatoes, home-grown pork, and lemon tart for dessert...although today's rivaled it: polenta and cabbage strudel with organic mirabellas and golden watermelon for dessert!), I decided to go on a hike because I was just that full >.< unfortunately, Schloss Tirol is closed for the next few days (not sure why), so I ended up visiting St. Peter's, a small, old church just up the hill, which was quiet and nice. It had very faded frescoes and funny chairs, haha. On the way back, just before I got back to the castle, I saw a sign for a hiking trail and indulged...I think I ended up hiking more than halfway down to Merano, haha. It was pretty fun, but I had to get back to drink water, since I hadn't brought any with me.
After eating some cereal as an early dinner, I met up with Brigitte and went with her to walk the pigs. It was a lot of fun :) They really do fall over when you scratch their tummies! Hehe, so cute. We just walked around and let them run around and graze. Jako, the little black lamb, also joined us. Yay for animals :) It was really nice and breezy down in that area. Afterwards, I just hung out with the other students in the kitchen, where things got a little crazy...so I just went to the vineyard for a bit for some quiet time and praise songs. :)
Today has been pretty uneventful, too, other than getting to talk to Brigitte a bit after lunch again. I always love talking to her, and I'm glad I've been making the effort to get to know the people who live here at the castle. They're so nice and talkative, especially Brigitte and India (who's gone for now). I'm hoping to get to hike with Brigitte sometime this week to go see her donkeys :) We'll see! Tonight, we have a small art show-type thing going on at 7 p.m., sponsored by Mary, where some of us will be either singing or reciting or reading short original works. I may be singing "Tell Me Where is Fancy Bred" from Merchant of Venice...! I guess Shakespeare in Song from Chamber Singers did come in handy after all XP

ReplyDeleteDone. A lot of classics you can just find online free since there isn't a copyright on it any more. What made you want to read it. I've heard many good things about the divine comedy so I've ben wanting yip read it for a while. But I think I'll just listen to it.
