Lucia and I have been busy learning Italian lately, hence the lack of posts. We promise to keep up with the posting better than we have been!
Yesterday we spent the day doing something fun...we did the Citysolve Urban Adventure Race! It's a race/scavenger hunt throughout the city, sort of a mini-Amazing Race.
The format consisted of everyone getting the same multiple-choice clue, and the correct answer pointed you to a location where you picked up a packet of ten clues for the rest of the race. The answer for each clue was a location in Manhattan, and each team had to take a picture of themselves at that location in order to complete the task. Teams could only travel via foot, bus, or subway. Lucia and I completed the race in 3 hours 21 minutes, which we thought was pretty good, considering we had to run around in the NYC summer heat. We will find out on Tuesday if we qualified for the national Citysolve finals, which take place in New Orleans in October. Maybe we'll go!
We like the show The Amazing Race, mostly because we love to travel and are jealous of the teams on the show that get to see far-away locales, and participate in local traditions. At least for one day, we got to compete in a similar competition. Hopefully someday we'll get to go on The Amazing Race and travel the world solving clues and racing to the finish line!
Arrivederci!
