I
woke up today to the sound of church bells. Though the two towers that
sound church bells here are inescapable every day but on Sunday morning,
you’re lucky if you can stay asleep. I went to church with Uncle Jeff,
our director of student conduct, and Clare in the church of Chiesa
Parrocchiale. Though I understood almost nothing, it was really nice to
enjoy the cultural differences in a beautiful church where close to none
spoke my language.
In
the afternoon a group of us took at 45 minute train ride to Bellinzona,
Switzerland. It was perfect weather for the trip. The green grass and
clean upkeep of Castelgrande made our walk through the castle nestled in
the middle of Bellinzona that much more enjoyable. After walking
through the castle the under in its tunnels, finishing with a view from
the top of the tower, we walked through town. We were searching for a
big street fair called “strada en festa” and instead walked into a
mushroom convention. Clearly we found this much more amusing than those
who were participating in the competition but it was interesting to see
an attraction that was so unlike a big event back home.
