I got my Italian Leather Jacket!!

we were all so exhausted from saturday in siena, that we wanted to sleep in. in settingnano, they have mass at 9 and 11. everyone went to the 11 o'clock mass. the people in town were so nice to us. they gave us a print out of the readings and even introduced the group to everyone and thanked us for coming and being part of the church. at mass they had a Bishop come in from India. (we think... we couldn't understand some of the things he said in english) The Bishop could speak some italian, but the homily was in english. like i said before, we werent quite sure what he was saying. After mass we went into town to go eat lunch and shop. we took about an hour to find a restaurant that our teacher Francesco told us about. we were going h=to head back to the villa, but then decided to go to a nice little pizza and sandwich shop that we went to last week. after lunch bri rachel sr judith and i all went to look at leather jackets. we ended up getting matching jackets in the same style but in all different colors. total price to begin: $380 euros... final price: $110 euros. the jacket was $100 but the $10 extra was to get the sleeves tailored. they were just a tad to long. lol. I am glad we got them at such a good deal. the owner of the shop was very nice. after we paid for the jackets we went shopping around the tents. i got my dad brother and some cousins present. still looking ofr my mom and sisters. once we got back it was time for a little nap before dinner, but then that changed to sitting down and watching some cartoons and music...everything else was either in italian or dubbed. it was really funny to see the Hills dubbed. after dinner it was study time! whoohoo!...not. we have a quiz in italian on monday. I was still really tired from saturday, that i was in bed and asleep before midnight.
Ciao!
