Looking Ahead

This past week was a week of exciting news. To start with, I finally got my player pass for another club here in Carpi called Virtus Cibeno. I started a new weekly training schedule so that I practice with this team twice a week and twice a week with Carpi, and beginning next weekend, I will be able to play games with Virtus Cibeno. After 6 months of training with Carpi, I am excited to see the fruits of my hard work. The second exciting piece of news is that my class will be taking a trip to Rome at the end of the month. Most Italian classes will take a few days off to either go to the mountains during the winter or visit a bigger city during the spring, and my class has the opportunity to go to Rome. We will be there for almost three days and already have reservations to visit the Vatican Museum and Sistine Chapel.

Another fun aspect of the week was the Lion’s Club dinner on Thursday night. The dinner was Carnival themed, so all of the families were invited and there were a variety of fun games for the younger kids. Luigi is the past president of the Lion’s Club here in Carpi, and he participated in a game where the goal was to dress up with the most objects possible. Beyond the games, there was a raffle in which the winners took home things such as gigantic chocolate Easter eggs and traditional Modenese Balsamic Vinegar.
