When we arrived at Senise, a town in the south of Basilicata, we met our host families at a restaurant on a lake. It was beautiful. All the bouginvilla was in full bloom, the sun was shining, and the lake was shimmering.
That night, we returned to the same restaurant for a Rotary Club meeting. Our Group Study Exchange team from District 7890, gave a presentation. We gave it from a computer, and passed around small photo albums that we had prepared before the trip. These photo albums were a big hit for everyone! - I would recommend that future teams consider bringing them on their trips. Everyone likes our professional attire, and flag scarves and ties. I think the club was very pleased to have us there, and I think we represented our sponsoring clubs (Farmington, Avon, Simsbury-Granby, East Windsor, and Torrington) and District 7890 very well!
Oh, in the second picture is Daniela - one of the GSE Italy team members, who was from Senise, and had just returned from her trip to Connecticut and Massachusetts. It was nice to hear what a great time she had in the USA!
