Lost, But Not Lost

Okay, sorry there was nothing yesterday.  I was on the computer but then got really sleepy and crashed and didn't realize I had already shut my computer without doing my blog before it was too late!  But I also decided not to turn it back on because yesterday was not that eventful.  I basically got up and did laundry, went to work at the Kiosk (where we played games most of the time because there was no one coming in!) then came home and watched more Community before calling it and early (ish) night.

Today however, was not as boring!!  I worked this morning, where I had some very interesting callers as well as my first $1,000+ sale!  It was awesome!  After work I set out on an adventure.  First:

Yep!  That's right!  The library!  I guess working there last summer changed me!  One of the local festival worker's let me borrow her library card so I can check out books to read while I am here!  I am so excited!  After the library I set out in search of more beautiful buildings.  My trip did not disappoint!  I checked out Harris Teeter (the local grocery store) just to see what it was about, visited the market, kind of got lost but not really lost, and then hit up CVS before returning home.  Along the way I saw a cruise ship that had stopped here for the day, the most beautiful post office I have ever seen and a church that looks like a castle. The post office:

The church from two angels:

Isn't this city amazing?!  I think so!  I ended the night at a 3 hour opera called The Magic Flute.  It's Mozart's final piece but did I mention it is 3 hours long?!  But, I actually really enjoyed it.  Parts of it where even quite comical!!  I will also be seeing two more operas in the next two days.  I'll let you know if I am sick of it after that!  Although I took many more pictures today, I want to save them for the days when I don't have a chance to take any.  (Which could be a lot considering the festival starts Friday with preview shows on Thursday.)  Tomorrow is my last day with the easy schedule.  :(  I am excited for the streets to be even fuller and the community to be engulfed in the arts even more though!!

On an ending note, thank goodness for the tiny little map that they put in the Spoleto Festival ticket envelopes.  It helped me find my way back home earlier!  I literally might have just gone in a big square multiple times had I not had that today.
