sweet street suite is the name we have adopted for our apartment since we live on via dei dolci ( sweet street ). its a pretty nice place and is extremely close to centro studi. nick, craig, and i live on the third floor of an apartment building. it is a fairly compact space but has everything we need. due to the size of the rooms it was hard to get a lot in each picture. again, due to size, all of the doors in our apartment are accordion fold to save space when they are open. we have a washing machine but no dryer. we have to hang our clothes outside on a clothes line or indoors on a hanger to dry.
last night we had a potluck dinner for all of us in orvieto. one of the girl's apartments was big enough to hold all 30 or so of us and we had a huge dinner. our house only had to bring bread and i made a olive oil / cheese/ balsamic dip for it. rick ( one of our teachers ) and penny ( his wife ) brought the salad with extremely good dressing. Jim ( our other teacher ) and his wife judith brought a very good pork roast. another house brought mini cheeseburgers which was a nice taste of home. the main course was gnoochi in a 4 cheese sauce, it was extremely good. and we finished dinner with 3 different cakes that another girls apartment made. this was all accompanied by plenty of wine.
last night we all left the girls house and moved to a local bar call beer house. they only serve german beer but no one was complaining. we met alessandro and christian who both live in orvieto and we met up today to play some soccer at a local field on top of a parking garage. it doesn't have goals but we just use shirts and it works out pretty well.
tomorrow morning we leave for assisi for a day trip. pictures to follow.

Anthony, I'm your mother's cousin, Dianne. We lived in Naples, Italy for three years while working for the U.S. Naval Base there (1985 - 1988). I really enjoy your blogs -- they bring back pleasant memories. We toured most of the sites that you are seeing. Keep up the good work.
