FINALLY I have uploaded some pictures to satiate all of you visual learners out there (scroll to the bottom of the page). Sorry that it has taken so long, but it is a bit more challenging to use the computers here, as all of the directions are in Italian...which, we have established is not a strong point of mine. Anyways, one of my family members offered to save all of my photos to a CD and helped to navigate me through the photoshop program. This is only a VERY small sampling of the photos that I have taken, but hopefully it will give you a better idea of where I have been, and what I have been up to....and proof that I am, indeed, in Italy :-) Cheers for now....K

P.S. The final show preparation is progressing quite nicely. My frogs now know the actions for our song. They are quite delightful to watch as they snatch imaginary bugs out of the air and fan themselves in the pool that is "nice and cool". It is no matter that they really only pronounce one out of every 5-6 words correctly...or is it? :-) If you were to listen in on one of our practice sessions, the song would sound something like this..."Nine lttlll rrrrn rgs stng on aaa brown gggg, ettng sm mmmm dlsssss bugs, Yum Yum..." Translation: Nine little green frogs sitting on a brown log, eating some most delicious bugs, Yum Yum. Yes, we still have a bit of work to do. But, no matter, we have until Friday to work out all of the kinks. I have taken to singing the song as I wander around class. When I become old and am locked away in a home, it is quite possible that you will find me rocking in a chair, humming 5 Little Green Frogs with a blank expression on my face.
