More Driving and Snapping Photos!

On the way to school to pick up Minerva... for the first three I had to get out of the car because of the electric wires that would have cut the photos in half, but the others were all taken seated in the car... 

Sunny southern Italy

I have taken photos from here before, to show the pretty view! Not so pretty today... the sea is out there somewhere... And it hasn't rained, so the wet on the ground is just...wet.

Only three children in Minerva's class were at school today, the rest home with the swine flu... we're still laughing! =)

First Day of School- Fourth Grade

Number 4 is already in 4th grade, she'll be 9 in December, and I miss her already! I hope she had a nice day and comes home happier than when she left this morning!

Waiting for the bell to ring!

Sat in my car under an olive tree, waiting for the school bell to ring... this was the view, and the temperature was 30°C... poor kids in school for three more weeks!!! One can imagine how hard it is to go to school when this sea is waiting for you!!! =)

Minerva's school, Castro

This is Castro's elementary and middle school. As always in Italy, it doesn't look too inviting!

This is the huge bird-cage with lots of parakeets...

      And there are some flowers...

      And the sea is just down the street!

Unfortunately not great weather today, so kind of grey pictures... but someone insisted that I take them!!! =)

Maglie, Aurora's school

Liceo Capece, Maglie This is the main entrance to Aurora's school... very old and quite famous...

And this one of the two cafes on the other side of the street... lovely place to have a capuccino and watch passers-by!
