Ciao Everyone!
I know I wanted to keep you all updated on my parents vist here on a daily basis. Unfortunately, as always, I had computer troubles on a daily basis. So I'll try and fill you all in now.
DAY ONE
Oh so fun! Mom and Dad got here and after putting away their bags we got going. We went to see a typical Italian market, tour my town, and meet all my family and friends. They were probably really tired and maybe understood only about 20% of what was happening, but they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
DAY TWO
School! I brought my parents with me to school! Yeay show and tell. So they got to meet my best friends and my classmates! The really fun part about all of that though was trying to talk to my English teacher. Now normal I asumed she didnt answere my questions in school because she doesnt like me. Turns out she just doesnt undertsand. Mua hahaha. Enough with that though
Aftewards we went to a near by town were we got to tour a really old caslte and have lunch by the lake. (The picture of them is from said castle)
DAY THREE
Venice! So fun at this poing Venice is still my favorite city and it was the 4th time going there. So I showed Mom and Dad the amazing hand made mask shop, Piazza San Marco, and the usualy venice sites. I also took a wrong turn, (not a good idea in Venice) and got us lost. Yeay!
DAY FOUR
Florence! WOW! That was amazing! SOOOO much art! It was so beautiful! We went with my first host family and they gave us a really nice tour and poined out typical foods from that city. Including really spicey foods with unsalted bread, and cow intestins and raw meat. They couldn't really get past cow intestins.
We also went to the top of the curch's dome where its possible to see all of florence! It had to be one of the most exhausting yet beautiful things of my life!
DAY FIVE
ROME! Now, I always said that Venice was my favorite city. That has changed! Rome is so beautiful! Its just crazy old with so much to see and do! I would like to explain everything I learned and saw and tated and smelt and all that, but i'd have to write a novel which I'm far to lazy to do.
In the end we saw...
Fontana di Trevi
The Spanish Steps
Coloseo
Forum
Piazze dei fiore
yea tons of stuff!
Oh and by this time Moms starting to ask how do Italians eat so much.
DAY SIX
Still in Rome for one more day. We decided to play it a bit calmer and went to see another plaza (name has been lost form my mind)Where there were a ton of artits! We also went to see the Panthium and da da da da drum roll please the Vadican Museum!
That was AMAZING! The capela sistina was so beautiful and so where le stanze di rafielo. dont think i spelt that right. But they were amazing! Its all we really stopped to see thought because (as our quide for the coloseo said) to look at every piece of art in that meuseum for one minute would take 15 years! HOLY CRAP!
So bye the end of the day it was time to hop on the train and get back to Carnate!
DAY SEVEN
Was our "day off" We hadnt planed anything for this day so it became an interesting mix of crazy thigs to do. First, soccer game. Go Inter! Chico brought us to see his favorite team play. They won 3 to nothing! Yeay! After that touring Milan!
Duomo, Spanish Castle, and various shops. Calm and unfrotunatly rainy that day. But it was fun!
DAY EIGHT
EASTER! We went out with my entire fisrt host family and my entire second (including grandparents)to this really pretty restuante to have a huge easter lunch! So much food! didn't have to eat the whole next day after that!
Then ahh we went to meet the third host family (I'll be moving in with them in about a week...eeekkk!) So that everyone could meet each other. It was interesting I was pretty nervous the whole time. But everyone got along well and they seem really really nice
DAY NINE
Mom and Dad got on a plane and headed home. Mom wont have to eat for the next year and Dad... to those who know my father it should be no surprise that he still wasnt full.
So that was a very quick rap up of the week with my rents!
Next on the list is the up coming change of families and most importantly my birthday/trip to rome! I'm soo excited because my rotary trip to Rome just happens to be on my birthday! So that will be fun!
Ok Ciao for now!
