just an update!

Showing our excitement after having found KETCHUP AND MUSTARD!!!! Can't find it anywhere here!

Another picture from Capri!

So I have some exciting news regarding a restaurant that we've become regulars at - it's totally run by the mafia. I'm 100% positive. We were there last night and having applied what I've learned in class and from the Sopranos....I'm positive. So that's really cool! The owner really likes us so that's relieving (Mom & Dad - we're going there when you come so I can prove it).

We're not going to Cinque Terre this weekend anymore. Amanda decided she would rather stay here and spend it with all of our friends, which I understand. So that'll be fun! We'll probably have everyone meet at this American restaurant because they have wings and happy hour (WINGS!!!!!!) and than head over to Campo de Fiori, which is where all the younger people go. There are a lot of bars and restaurants so it's become the hangout!!

Only 9 DAYS until my parents come!!!! Single digits!!! I could not be more excited. It'll be fun to show them all the places I've found and feel like I live in Rome!

OH - an update from Iowa! I got a spring internship (I think it's just volunteering, but they're calling it an internship cause I'm a student) at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa! I'm going to be a "dog companion." Which is like my dream. I'm basically going to be loving them and making sure they're emotionally ready to be adopted. I think I can handle that :)

I"m still really missing Jessie but it helps that there are a TON of dogs here to play with! And Italians are so friendly so they always let you.

Have to go to class (Italian Society), but I'll be back with updates from the weekend!!
