After a looong travel day from our various homes to JFK to Rome to our home for the first week of the program, Centro Panta Rei, we enjoyed our first delicious Italian dinner and collapsed in bed for a good night’s sleep. The next few days we split between our Carpe Diem orientation activities, aimed at bonding our group, establishing expectations, and laying the foundation for the program to come, and activities led by our partners at Centro Panta Rei. Those activities included a scavenger hunt around their sprawling property filled with gardens and eco-buildings, a handmade pasta lesson, and a stroll along Lake Trasimeno and through the town of Passignano. Our group began forming connections and building a strong community as we recovered from our jet lag and settled into the program. Our hosts and partners here at Centro Panta Rei have been amazing teachers and introduced us to many of the key themes and ideas for the program, as well as began our instruction in the Italian language and culture. You will hear more about our work and lessons at Panta Rei in the next blog!<\/p>\n
