-A European Adventure-: Italy: Part Five

So the trip will quickly becoming to an end. It has been close to two weeks in Italy and we only have a few days left. In the past few days, we saw and performed in Lecce, Gallipoli, and now in Senigallia. This trip is sure flying by when you see a new city and live a new experience everyday. But with how great that sounds though, don't forget that we are also performing EVERYDAY!

While we were in Lecce, we were invited to the home of one of the dancers that is from that town. It was so wonderful to see an Italian household. It was everything you would expect AND THEN MORE. I was hugged and kissed by everyone and welcomed so graciously. The meal included several appetizers, lasagna, salad, steak and then a birthday cake. It was delicious and insanely filling meal. The best part of that though wasn't the food, it was the love and warmth that was in that household. Her family and friends kept coming throughout the day to meet us all and greet us. It was truly a beautiful day.

Today, we got to Senigallia and we will be here for two days. This could quite possibly be the best and most modern theater we performed in. It might also be the sweetest town. The shops look like they came right out of a movie. Its really cute to see a town with old and historic buildings with modern interiors. I will have to take pictures tomorrow and post them later.

Italy has been a very different experience than what I would imagine from the movies. I wish I could describe it better but I can definitely say that Italy is magical and charming. Here are some pictures from our time in Gallipoli. You can see how beautiful even a smaller city is!
