Ciaò,
Jupiter Jen has completed her first 4 shows in Rome. We took lots of pictures which we will upload as soon as our computer is working. There is so much science to think about. We saw so much ancient history. Simple machines must have been amazing. Looking at these structures and wondering how they put the stone in place is just mind boggling.
I am at an internet cafe as our high tech computer is not charging here. The pictures are wonderful but they look just like all of our shows...the children are having fun. The international schools are British based so everyone spoke English but most spoke 3 or 4 languages. It makes me feel very inadequate with my language barrier of only speaking English.
We started our tour at an International School in Southern Rome called the Southland International School of Rome. The principal, Mr. Deryk Wilson is just fabulous and very focused on bringing the best resources to the school. He sat in on all the assemblies and was just so supportive...all went well.
We left Rome this morning for an almost 5 hour trip to Venice. We travel by water taxi here as there are no cars and it is surrounded by water.
We head to Zagreb, Croatia for a show tomorrow. The only train is at 920pm and will arrive at 415am in Zagreb. I will do the show on Monday and head to Verona on Tuesday as we have an assembly in Verona on Wednesday.
It is very exciting to be here and presenting programs that are virtually non existent here.
I will write again, hopefully, we can upload some pictures. They are wonderful.
Stay tuned,
Jupiter Jen
