Man are we CLASSY!
School is finished around 1 PM here (but most schools are also in session on Saturday). Since school-sponsored sports don’t exist, many parents enroll their kids in a doposcuola - an “after-school.” This year we let our big kids choose any activity, as long as it was under €50 per month.
My oldest chose fencing.
My middlest chose horseback riding.
And (incredibly) they both came in under budget. The fencing club here in Ancona has trained Olympic athletes, and has an enormous facility. The horseback riding lessons are taught in a beautiful old fort here in the city.
Unfortunately, my kids chose sports that I have never participated in and don’t know anything about. I suppose I’ll be learning along with them.

hey, we enjoy reading your posts, too, though you’ve been blogging too long for me to go back and read all of yours.
