Palermo

Third day

We got together in their school around 9 o'clock. The day started with a lecture of Palermos art and history, followed by lectures about carnival's and their traditions, which were very interesting. Then we had a little coffe break, it lasted about 30 minutes. Well, I wasn't able to indroduce me in italian before the Italian language mini lesson, which was made by Italian students.
After the lectures we went out to see the Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele, which is the biggest in Italy and 3rd in Europe. It was really enourmous, with 7 tiers of boxes it seats 1350 people. We had a tour around the theatre, we had a chance to see the vip box and a room with perfect acoustics.
When we left the theatre we went to have lunch. We went with our hosts to taste traditional food, molto bueno ! We really liked it, althought it didn't look so good.
After the lunch we had a little free time to visit market's and then we gathered again in the school to a lecture about Italian national events and celebrations, which were made by the students, and they were interesting to watch. The lecture didn't last long and soon we were off to the homes, where we had, atleast i did, very good meal. And we were off to bed, where i fell asleep immediately.
