We made it to Orvieto- my new favorite town in the world! It's a sweet little town on a hill in the Italian countryside with darling little shops, beautiful scenery and views, and wonderful food. As wonderful as Rome was, it was still a big city, but Orvieto in much more my speed!!! I've already started to recognize some of the same people and they have started to recognize me too. Anyone who has ever visited Orvieto can attest to its charm and beauty and I highly encourage anyone who ever plans to travel to Italy to include Orvieto in your travel plans!! But by far my favorite part of Orvieto is that they observe riposo which is similar to the Mexican siesta- from 1-4 pm every day most of the shops and restraints close and it is a time to relax, take a nap, etc- GENIUS! America, please catch on soon!!
We are staying in apartments and I'm staying in a very beautiful one with 6 other people and We have a full kitchen, a beautiful porch/balcony, and our own piano! However, we don't have a washer/dryer so my roommate and I had to do all of our laundry in the bath tub and hang things on the clothes line to dry...that was quite the experience for me!
As far as the program goes, we ran Le Nozze di Figaro for the first time today (twice- once with each cast) and things actually went very well! We perform Friday June 19th and Saturday June 20th at the cutest little theatre here in town and I can't wait to get in there and see the space and perform!!!
On a completely unrelated note, I've found that quite a few bathrooms here see, to be missing toilet seats...on purpose. I'm not sure why yet but it is very strange! Does anyone have the slightest clue as to why?
Today I've also started my 30-day countdown until I come home. I'm having the time of my life, meeting and working with amazing people, making wonderful connections, enjoying fantastic food and wine every day, but I have to admit, there really is no place like home and I miss it a little bit. Anyways, that's it for now folks, and as always, stay tuned for updates!
