May 22: Risotto Anyone?

It has been a little difficult to post but when in Rome. We had another wonderful day. We started out the day visiting a vocational school that applied to Tara's profession. This school was remarkably well run with a focus on hospitality, service and culinary arts. I must admit I was very impressed by all facets of the school.

We then visited the historic town of Monferrato and its castle.

The Guggenheim museum situated in Vercelli, was also a stop on the tour. I was amazed at the rebuilding of its original look.

We then had our second rotary meeting in an amazing house in Vercelli. The meeting was amazing and I really enjoyed meeting the rotarians in Vercelli. They gave us an unbelievable tour of the villa and explained the history behind the rotary and also the villa we were situated in.

Lastly we walked around town and had an incredible experience. While we walked around we were forunate enough to get a private tour of an amazing church. We walked in at just the right time. The choir was practicing late at night. It felt rather magical and very much spiritual. Vercelli was quite the experience!
