Buona Sera

Walked around some more. Went to a cafe on top of the hill over looking the Umbrian valleys. My waitress was a devout Catholic, Cecilia from Mexico. With Spanish being our common language, it was great practice and made good conversation.


Met a couple of American Music Students. Matt, Isaac, and Anna. Matt and Isaac are learning to be orchestra conductors and Anna is a cellist. They invited me to a brass orchestra concert at the Teatro Nuovo Spoleto. On another note, the Italian language is beautiful, unique, and powerful. It's musicality sounds like two or three 8th notes, followed by a dotted quarter note, and ending with another 8th note. Almost like they are always singing Cantate Domino, but with a bit more attitude.
