This past Thursday we had our first meeting which was respectively about La Befana, a Christmas tradition in Italy that is similar to Santa Claus in the United States. However, instead of La Befana being a man bearded man in a red suit, she is a little old lady who rides around on a broomstick giving treats to good little children (and she is not a witch). Here are some pictures as usual:
Exec board enjoying the snacks, haha.
Plans for Carnevale in February!
Before the Befana presentation, we watched a movie on how to make espresso and a movie about Christmas dinner in Italy.
