I would like to welcome you all to Lecco on Lake Como. It was absolutly beautiful and is the town that I will get to go to school in. Madda, my host mother and I had some paper work to do in the school so afterward we decided to have a very relaxing lunch on the shore of the lake. It has to be the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. It's nestled very nicely between several pre-alp mountains. The day before we had lunch at the top of one of these mountains. Unfortunately my friends host sister accidently deleted those pictures. Oh well.

I also attended my first Rotary meeting. This one was only for my club. Here I got to meet the two other Exchange students living in my clubs area. Jay, from the states. And Chris from Germany. Along with my Rotary Counsler. This Sunday I get to go to another Rotary meeting, only for my distric. So instead of just us three Rotary kids there will be all of the Exchange kids from all over. The meeting is in Milano and I'm so insanely excited!

Dear Emma-
ReplyDeleteZoe and I went to visit your Nanny at the rehab center. She does not have internet access there but I copied and pasted your blog and photos to date to a Word document and showed them to Nanny. She loved seeing your photos and reading your blog entries. Below is a message that she dictated to me to post on your blog.
We have also enjoyed reading your blog. We know it is a hard transition but your perseverance, positive attitude and thirst for new experiences and people continues to shine through in your blog entries. Good luck at school this week!
Ciaco,
Jim, Laura, Alex, Zoe and Charlotte
Hi Emma! It’s Nanny. I am sitting in the rehab section of St. Peter’s hospital working very hard to get back and walk again. I know I am improving. The care is fantastically good. Jim and Zoe are here doing this for me. She is the prettiest little one I have seen in a while. I saw the pictures you took and I am envious. I would love to be there traveling and seeing all of those beautiful churches and lakes- it is fantastic! Well Emma I know I am getting better and I am working like the devil to get back and walk around as best as I can. Your mom and aunts are very solicitous- what would I do without them?
I love you Emma. I hope you have a great, great time. And we all miss you very much. Have fun!
-Nanny
Emma the pictures are great and I cannot believe you have that view from the town you are going to school at. We all miss you, but are enjoying the journey through your posts. Keep them coming.
