A WILD RIDE!!!

Hey everyone,

So, I wrote the last post on Tuesday night when I arrived. And now it is friday and I have done a ton this week.

On Tuesday Night after I arrived, I met up with Monica, Michela and her husband. It was so great to see them all! It was just like I had never left. It was so great. They made me dinner and we sat around and talked about everything that has happened over the past year and a half. Niente--- they said... nothing, which I find hard to believe! But Monica told me that she is getting too more girls on the 17th. So I will get to meet them and I'm sure I will go and eat dinner with them. YUMMY YUMMY food! Anyways, so that night at Michela's they had a bottle of sparkling wine and we drank some to toast the new year. They were very confused when I said its called a toast... they were like... toast that you eat? They were so confused. There are a few things that monica gets confused about. It is so funny. She told me that many times she rearranges her chicken... but she means kitchen. HA! But she also says "are you (H)Angry when she means to say HUNGRY! and vis-versa! Man have I missed the Italians!

Anyways so then on Thursday, I met up with Michela at 12:45 and we went to the bank, the post office, the police station... I had many things to do once I arrived. But we didn't walk to all of these things! WE RODE ON HER VESPA! It was so much fun... and so scary! She was laughing at me because I was holding onto her so tight... I told her she was my boyfriend for the day! HAHA! We rode all over the city.. and did I mention.. that it was in the pouring rain, it was quite interesting. I think a few times my leg brushed up against a car... and pretty close to a bus! It was so fun...haha. She also took me to my school and I got to see how to get there. It is so beautiful. It is up on a mountain. It is very beautiful!

OK, well I got my Italian cell phone. I will email it out rather than putting it on the blog. I cannot wait to talk to all of you. I hope everyone is doing well!!! Miss everyone.

I am on my way to eat lunch, Im starving.... last night it took 2 hours to boil some water for pasta... which never happened! so no dinner for me! hahah

I will figure it out sooner or later.

CIAO!

PS... I got woken up this morning by the sound of huge churchbells.. that sounded as if they were in my apartment! HA, I will really need to get used to this... or get some earplugs !
