Keeping Up with Parco!

September 8th - September 21st

Hii, Beatrise here to tell you about two weeks of September. It started it off with a festival here in Monesiglio! For 5 days there were concerts every evening and some other activities during the day, we got to listen to good music and see the local people dancing and enjoying themselves.

On the 14th of September we were feeling like going to the beach and enjoying the last swim of the season. So me, Ebru and Noa went to Savona. We swam A LOT, walked around and explored Savona a bit and then went to a Turkish kebab shop recommended by Ebru.

On the 15th of September David (a professor and a local here in Monesiglio) gave his first lecture about Italian culture in our speaking club we have every Monday! It was an introduction lecture, we talked a bit about Italy’s regions, cuisine, art and fashion. In the following lectures the idea is to go more in depth in each topic.

On the 16th of September we spent the morning cleaning and preparing Maria Tarditi’s house / museum. It was hard and there were a lot of spider webs haha, but I think we did a good job. After that, in the afternoon some people came to make a video about the museum!

And on a personal note, I spent this time trying to befriend all the cats in Monesiglio, but what else is new.
