Because we were a bit uncertain about where exactly to go (and knew we didn't want to go to the casino), we walked for about a mile and then turned back. Good thing too, as it began to rain once again almost as soon as we arrived at the hotel. Jay is getting a bit concerned about the weather as he and two friends are planning their own odyssey from Milan to Stuttgard and back to Milan.

Right now we're having real troubles posting photographs to our blogs, a problem that may stem from our own lack of expertise or unstable network connections. Hope we will be able to provide you with some of the beauty we have seen.
Had a really excellent discussion today with the students on the difference between documentaries and fictional films that are based on factual content. At least part of our discussion revolved around Life is Beautiful. It's described as a fable but concludes with the death of a central character, which is then followed by a voiceover that has the child describe the sacrifices his father made. Interesting and somewhat controversial film.
