We arrived at Pisa airport in the afternoon and proceeded to take a taxi to the train station which would take us to our destination of Massa. When we arrived in Massa, our host families came to pick us up one by one and take us to their houses where we would be staying for the next six days. That evening, we settled in with our families and got ready for the next day to come.
The next morning, our host families took us to their school where we were collected and taken to the town of Carrara which is famous for it's marble mountains. We were taken on a tour of a famous marble factory where we witnessed some amazing marble projects. After this, we carried on higher up the mountains and had lunch in a small italian restaurant with the rest of the trip participants. Here, we tried the famous Massa delicacy called 'lardo', being pure fat. We then returned to the school and had a discussion about the subject of immigration, where everyone was able to share their views. After a long day, we returned to our host families where we were able to do what we wished, for example explore the city of Massa.
There's a little taster, there'll be more later...
