The trip to Italy was delightful! I will update first with our seminar in Venice and then in another entry I will do Rome. I will be adding a photo album with sights that we saw in between classes!
Classes were great fun and the students were eager to learn, so that made teaching them such a joy. A big thank you to our hostess in Venice - Luigina of C'era una Volta and to our hostess in Rome - Maria Laura of La Rete dei Sogni. The translation of the classes went fairly smoothly I think, thanks to Elena in Venice and Maria Laura in Rome...so glad you could both understand me!
Here I will show you a few fun photos from the seminar in Venice (I will make an album a bit later, showing the sights, etc.) Thanks to Elena for showing us around and helping!!
Class in Venice:
Here are a few of the students at the class...
They did a wonderful job on their Santa beards!
They also could paint an ornament size of the design, if they wanted...this is Alessio's - what a fun student he was! :) He kept the class very lively - his enthusiasm was contagious!
He totally cracked us all up when he taped a snowflake to his nose (no joke!) and made me look at him 'nose to nose' - like the Santa and Polar Bear....! Now I am just not one to pass up a good laugh.....LOL, so here is a photo of it!
Here is a photo of our hostess Luigina (on the far right) and translator Elena (on the far left), at Luigina's shop "C'era una Volta".
Here is a photo of Luigina and her husband 'nose to nose'...too cute.
The Bed & Breakfast we stayed at was simply lovely! Adorned with sunflowers and the title: Il Girasole (The Sunflower) - the owners were so kind and welcoming. Here are a few photos of the pretty painting at the B&B.
Thank you to everyone for an enjoyable time in Venice! I will update with the Rome classes in another blog entry...this one is getting long!
Ciao, ciao! Kiss, kiss...
