Had a busy night and day. Another awesome performance by the team and exchange of flags. We got to sit with the "younger people" some our age and some that were in Roteract. Today we went to the factory where they process the truffles. The dog actually digs them up from the ground. His name is Elmo. After this we visited the CLAR plant where they produce milk and cheese. This was great!!! Very good motzerella! More sight seeing of the town. It's been raining the entire time we have been here and everyone keeps apologizing. To funny, we don't care. My host family, Leonida and Simonetta are great. Thier son, Matteo is my age and we are having fun going out on the streets of Reiti, after dinner last night. It's been a fun day and I was going to take a nap, but have been downloading pictures and blogging and will run out of time before dinner. We eat so late here, but the days go by so fast. Earlier today, the GSE President, Felice was driving us around. He pulled over and said "Dave, you drive". My heart rate went up quick, but I did OK. It was great.
