Hello everyone. I guess it has been a week since I last posted. We have had a rather low key week here in Sansepolcro. I don't think I finished talking about Rome but I am just going to move on. Rome was fun but exhausting but we managed to see what we wanted to see. If you need to see Rome in a day..talk to me and I can tell you how haha!
It has been very relaxing being back in Sansepolcro. We had our second family dinner and I was with a new family. I LOVED them. They had a 20 year old son and a 13 year old daughter. The dad was the funniest man I think I have ever met. He did not speak English very well but he loved trying. His kids just laughed at him but he didn't care. I loved getting to know them and the food was delicious. The thing to do here in Sansepolcro is to walk to main street. On the weekends in the evening the street is packed. We went with our host dad...he drove us to the main street in his Crystler CONVERTABLE! Mom, you and Leslie would have loved this guy and his ride. He kept making fun of his daughter and how she was getting ready to walk to streets. He bought us gelatto which Maggie and I LOVE! I eat gelatto at least once a day...usually twice. Just so you arent shocked, I may be a good 20 pounds heavier when I get home. Our host dad knew EVERYONE. It was just like being at church on Sunday and never getting to go eat lunch because your mom keeps talking. We ended up walking with the daughter and her friend because they didnt want to wait for their dad. A group of boys kept following them around and while Babbo (Dad) was around the girls stressed that the boys were JUST FRIENDS. As we walked with the girls they told us that the two blondes were their boyfriends. They only like blondes aparently. It was funny because they never spoke to the boys they just wanted to walk by the boys...just like 13 year olds in America. Some things just are the same no matter where you live. Family dinners have been my favorite experience so far.
Lets see...we have had a lot of classtime this week. It is crazy though because we leave Monday for Venice and when we get back, we only have 3 more days of class. Tuesday we went to a jewelry show and all of us got cute things. Only at Meredith do a group of students take an excursion to a jewelry show. The people were so nice and have been having MC students over to their house for years now. The daughters make the jewelry and it is beautiful. Wednesday we went to Assisi and Perugia. Assisi was beautiful and Perugia was nice too. It was a long day though and we were realy tired when we got back to the Servi.
Well, that is it for now. I hope all is well in America. I cannot wait to get back and go to the beach and river!!! See you in a little over 2 weeks!
