Toothless

We were able to settle into our rooms, unpack our suitcases, and familiarize ourselves with the property. But, after two weeks of non-stop activity, it was no surprise that our third week would be just as busy. This was our last week of art history and first week of drawing and Italian language. We viewed two more Etruscan museums and began making our three drawing assignments.

To celebrate, recap and test our knowledge on the art history we had seen, the students split into teams and participated in a competitive jeopardy-style game. It was nice to refresh and reorganize all that we had seen within just three short weeks. The game ended up being much more relaxed than we were anticipating and cookies and peanut butter were given as prizes to the top three teams. That night Johan’s parents were visiting, and they brought Swedish beer and alcoholic breezers for us to try. While we sampled the foreign beverages, we decided to plain the hilarious “vegetable” game. All players stand in a circle and each player must choose a fruit or vegetable to represent. When your fruit or vegetable name is called you must say your name and then call on someone else in the group using their chosen name. The trick, and what makes this game so entertaining is that while the game is in play, everyone must cover their teeth with their lips. Teeth are not to show throughout the duration of the game. The facial expressions, altered speech, and lack of visible teeth had us rolling on the ground with laughter. That night was a great closing for the art history portion of the trip.
