So, this is my roommate, Katie. We live with Tina and another exchange student named Marina. Tina thinks Marina's name is so funny. Everytime she says it she pretends like she's swimming. You know, the sea.

I can't figure out how to put pictures on the way I want, but this was the first cooking class. We made homemade Ravioli, grilled pumpkin, veal and biscotti. It was pretty awesome!

Oh, this? This is just where I live. Don't mind that it's gorgeous! It's amazing here.

Sunburns and Speedos

Did you know that the sun is hotter in Italy than in Utah? I didn't but somebody definitely should have told me. We went to the beach in Minori and I had a shirt over my face and still got burned! I'm not sure how it happened, but I was definitely not happy about it. Even my eyelids are peeling! It is the worst sunburn I have ever had! I couldn't even open my mouth to eat with out my eyes moving because my face was so tight. So, that's how I looked when I met my host family. She didn't say anything about it, but she definitely kept staring.

Everyone in Italy wears bikinis. It doesn't matter if they're old or fat or wrinkly, no one wears a one piece. And all of the boys wear speedos, not an attractive look (Italian men are pretty hairy). These pictures are maybe my favorites! If you ever come to Italy get ready to see bikinis and speedos and lots of PDA

Ciao!

So, this is the first time I've had access to the internet and have not had to pay for it. Italy is awesome! I am living with a little old lady named Tina, who doesn't speak a world of English. Remember how I don't speak Italian? It's been interesting. She makes her own tomato sauce and pesto, she even makes her own yogurt! It is by far the best food I have ever had!

School is going to kick my trash! I started today and my Italian class is all in Italian. I hope I catch on quick!

So, I wanted to post some pictures. I made sure I'm in a lot of them just for you Alicia! Love you all!!!
