food friends and fun

     I honestly cannot say enough good things about this place. I literally am having so much fun learning about the culture and about the amazing people on this trip. On Tuesday night, three of the boys in the program cooked dinner for my roommates and I! Mom & Dad this one is for you: you would be so proud of all the food I have tried here! Tomatoes, mushrooms, zucchini, bell peppers, and lots more, and cooked in so many different ways! And here is the best part... I actually like them! I bet you are excited for when I come home, so you can cook something other than just plain meat and potatoes! :) I am so excited for learning about the food here and even more learning how to cook! I also can't wait to come home and share the recipes I learn, and to have all my friends and family try them!
      Yesterday was a blast! Our Italian friend, Giacamo, had a bunch of us over for another rooftop dinner! It was delicious! He invited a bunch of his friends as well, so it was a mixer of Italians and Americans. The Italians were trying to speak English and we were trying to speak Italian...the communication was a bit rocky, but it was fun to practice what we learn in class! We all had a really good time and met some pretty cool people! Its nice to know Italian students our age here (they come in handy when you are trying to buy something at the store and have no idea how to say it)!
