| Im gonna miss ya! |
Sorry Again for my lack of blogging, nothing really has happened that was TOO interesting.
This past Thursday, we attended a farewell dinner for the 3 city gals. I am really going to my main GALS- Erin and Allison not because they are two very awesome people, but because they are so damn funny! Thursday night we all celebrated at Bar San Marco, some remembered it, some didn’t... lol Allsion. It’s so weird only have 4 people in the school now, we actually outnumber the faculty!
Friday was of course awesome because we had dinner at the Nicolai’s again (Iva’s host family.) I swear, they are becoming my second parents, always inviting us over for dinner, making sure we aren’t hungry, sending us home with left over’s- I love it. So we had a 3 course meal; first bruschetta (which I helped make J !!!!) and meats and cheeses as appetitivo and some eggplant stuff and then we had rabbit and lamb in some sort sauce and roasted potatoes. For desert, I must say I was on the struggle bus, I threw in the white flag (literally waved my white napkin- made everyone laugh) after 4 fried little donuts with Nutella inside- AMAZING. So after the look of defeat was all over my face, they asked “don’t you eat meals like this back at home?” And I had Iva translate for me “yes, but only on special days like holidays and such”. And they told me while laughing “Every day is special in Italy”. The punch line of the night, every time I go over to their house I feel so tired and exhausted, like it was Thanksgiving or something. The last two times we went over there, they gave us a ride home because it was late and cold out, they are seriously the nicest people I have met, so precious! They also sent us home with some fried donut holes! I have been eating a few each day- they will be the reason why I will have rolls when I come back. Jk- I have been trying to run every day with my workout partner Iva J I promise I WILL NOT get rolls haha.

Saturday we went shopping in Tarquinia, I had already gone there before for a field trip for class to see the necropolis & national museum (a.k.a- me, Iva, Cam and our cute little Irish lady teacher Kay) but this time we went shopping!

| Love this picture- it looks like a painting! (Tarquinia) |
Tarquinia is much bigger than Tuscania, has more shopping and its pretty awesome. On one side of the town you can see the sea, and on the complete opposite end (about a 10 minute walk) you can see the countryside hills of Italy- absolutely breathtaking.

| It was a tad bit windy out! |
However, during the times of 1-4 all the stores close, it’s really inconvenient and quite annoying, it’s called siesta, and nothing but bars are closed, supposedly during this break they nap and have lunch, sounds like something toddlers would do. During the break we explored, and totally saw a PEACOCK farm! I have never ever seen something so cool before, but honestly who comes across a peacock farm…only in Italy! Saturday night- HOMEWORK!!! Whoo hoo!!! Go being productive!!

| The peacock is on the left of the green tree on the right! SO COOL! |
Sunday- I AM DEPRIVED OF TV! Sunday literally rained all day, couldn’t go out, and couldn’t watch any of my shows like Gossip Girl or One Tree Hill or Jersey Shore. BY THE WAY- Jersey shore is going to start filming in ITALY in APRIL! I don’t know where yet, but as soon as I find out, I definitely wouldn’t mind making a weekend trip to where they are! So after getting all of my homework done, finally got the tv to work, and started watching a show in ENGLISH about the Oprah Effect, thank you Italy for making me learn about Oprah- she is one powerful woman!
Well another day, another Adventure!
