2025 Italian Lessons, Mon April 28, 2025

Monday first day of class

Had a small coffee, arrived at 8:30. Found my classroom and waited until class began at 9. Kathi talked with Ramin from Erbil, Kurdistan area. Parents and 12yo sister in Kurdistan. He and other sister live in France/Rouen (Normandy). Kathi had a nice time practicing Italian before class. Chris was completely lost, didn’t understand anything.

Conad after class, then picnic in a park. Then lots of walking around, bookstore where Kathi got two more books. A tour with a group and teacher at 4:30 ending at the bar at the top of a building where we had lemon based drinks.

Another conad shopping on the way back, then made bruschetta in the hotel for dinner. Back to the room to study for tomorrow. After reviewing Chris was feeling a little less lost and more optimistic about tomorrow.
