Today we went to a criminal court and watched a bankruptcy fraud case in front of the tribunal. In the class syllabus, we were to have instantaneous translation. I had visions of UN style headsets with english coming through. For this school's program, it meant a general translation of what the case was about, and that was about it. I got more from the classmates of mine that know some italian than I did from the Professor and his assistant.
I hold out hopes for actual translation when we visit the High Court in Rome, next week.
After the trial, I returned home, put on shorts, my riding jacket and slogged through a heavy downpour on my bike, to class. My shorts were wet as wet could be.
I added fresh pesto to my dinner routine, which remained unchanged from last night.
Tomorrow we are off to Siena for lunch, then to San Gimignano for some sight-seeing. Pics to follow. Here in a neat package is the baptistry, the Duomo and the bell tower.
