Orvieto Here i Am!!!

6-22 Today has been my first day in Orvieto Italy and It is amazing!!!! I arrived in rome this morning and was very tired but excited.  i met a billion people because in our program is the Art of Song (7), Trumpet Fest (25-30?) and then the String players (15?). So lots of new people to meet and learn their names.  For most of the day waiting at the airport today i was with the trumpet players because the other singers hadnt arrived yet! All of them kept asking me are you a trumpet player?? and i had to say no and then quickly add but you should still like me lol!

After being at the airport for a few hours I finally started meeting the other vocalist and was really happy to find that I got along with them really well! Its funny we found out that we have three Alexandras in the program.  but we figured out how to solve the problem Alex P is going by Alexandra, i go by Alex and the other (a trumpet players) goes by Ally.  The Alex problem has been solved lol!

Once everyone had arrived we traved by bus from rome to orvieto below are some of the pictures taken on our drive.

 Once in orvieto we had to walk up a crazy amount of stairs bc the city is set up on a hill.  One of tthe other students said that it used to be a military town. (not sure if that is true so dont quote me on it!) once we made it into the city we were separted into groups and taken to our apartments around the city.  i share my apartment with two other girls and three guys.  It is adorable and i completely love it!!! we have a kitchen with a stove, a baby washer, and a fridge in the cabinet!

That is the Fridge!!
