Ciao! And Buon Natale!
Sorry I didnt write for Christmas, lots of stuff was going on. So. Its been 4 months now! I really can't believe how fast its going! As far as Italian goes. I wouldnt say im fluent, but I can talk to people just fine. More or less, and understand almost everything. So I'm thrilled about that! But now I want to tell you about some of my mini adventures. Christmas was very interesting for me. Christmas here is very similar to Christmas in America in many way. But very diffrent in others. There's Santa, (Babo Natale) and they're prestents, and family dinners. But they're also panatone and pandoro! Thats some good eating! Best deserts of my life!
My host family and I spent Christmas Eve with my host moms side of the family and Christmas day with my host dads family. So I got to meet all they're relatives.
But the much more exciting part of my Christmas was going to the Alps! After an amazing Christmas lunch with Chico's family (my host dad) We all piled into the car and headed for the mountain house!
IT.WAS.AMAZING! The mountains are sooo tall and beautiful. I got to go skiing 3 days strait! And the weather stayed nice the whole time. Sure it was cold but the sun stayed out and oh it was just amazing!
This video (if it works) is just a small part of what I saw!
And so December is over.
An up and coming adventure that I'm nervous about is changing host families. This Saturday I'll be moving in with my second host family. I a bit bummed because I really like this family. But to quote my host mother.
"Its a shame you have to change families, but its just another part in your adventure. And it wouldn't be an adventure without change."
