Molto Bella Urbino

Ciao!
I believe I left off on the bus to Urbino. Well, before that, someone gave be some wrong information about the bus, so it was a good thing I was early because I was waiting at the wrond part of the station. But, I got it figured and got on the bus. It travelled through the countryside from Roma, about 4 and 1/2 hours North East to Urbino. The bus was mostly empty. When I got out, I was right in the center of town, but I did not know it yet. The station is beside a beautiful building, one that looked like a castle.
Again, I will have pictures soon. It looks like we will get the internet on my computer on Saturday. Of course, this also means I do not have Skype yet, but soon enough!
Allora, I sat there for sometime, hoping that Alessandra was not just a fictional person that was using me in some sort of scam. But, alas, she came. It was really only half an hour, but in a town where no one speaks English and you are alone, it seems like a very long time. We took an elevator up to the central piazza, and looked around at some of the places. I really wanted to get to the flat, because my bags were starting to be quite the bother, especially when I sat remembering the four flights of stairs at the hostel. Ugh.
Anyways, we went for gelato, she tells me this is the children's favourite place. Alessandra speaks very good english, and she is MULTO helpful in helping me learn Italian. We came home on l'autobus, and we talked about how much Italian I knew, which, trust me, is not enough. I could not have studied enough. We came up to the flat, which is nice. She is between moves and wants to do many renovations. She takes on much more work that she has time for and still thinks she does not do enough. She is a very good mother. Leonardo then came home from school. He is 8, and he is very rambuctious. Not in a bouncing off the walls kind of way, but in the way that he often picks on his sisters, tells jokes, and has a lot to say. I quite like him, and he seems to have a grand fascination with Canada. His eyes are always smiling.
Benedetta and Sarah come home from their scuola a bit later. Benedetta, who is 5, makes me laugh, like they all do, but she will make goofy faces and do silly things and, I assume, say silly things, but I cannot make them all out yet.
Sarah, who will be 3 in November, is quite curious. She is often quite the spacecadet, but she loves to boss people. Not boss, but simply ask you to do something, because she either can't or won't. Like drawing her a flower. She loves to ask you to draw flowers.
They all have very strong personalities for their ages. They have large beautiful eyes and bella curly hair.
Over the last two days we have gone to the park, watched Kung Fu Panda in Italiano and played with trainsets. The mornings are hit or miss, depending on how they slept. If they slept well, it is a great morning, though. The afternoons are the same. Sometimes Sarah gets a nap, but if she doesn't she is either very cranky or she falls asleep at the dinner table. The other two find it very humourous. I carried her all the way from the park, about 20 minutes, in my arms because she started to fall asleep as she walked.
Benedetta is also quite the monkey. Alessandra told me of one time when she climbed a very ancient statue and got her head stuck in the angels arm. They had to cut her out. I could not stop laughing when she told me. Could you imagine?
"My child is stuck in the relic. This ancient symbol of honour, justice and beauty. The very earthly mold of history and all that is sacred. Do you have a chainsaw?"
Hilarious.
Anyways, I must go. I have many more stories already. I went into the town yesterday, the flat is about a 10 minute walk outside of the city walls, and it was very excited. But, you must be patient.
Ciao!
