Ciao tutti!
I left you last while talking about my feelings for wine and Nutella gelato. Rest assured that those have remained constants through my time in Italy (especially the Nutella and Kinder gelato. Ciao, Ben & Jerry's).
My first week of school has ended, and it has been great. I have a feeling that all these classes will be really fun and educational, and will help my Italian a lot. But as much as I love the classes, I think my favorite part of the day is the break after our morning Italian classes. We have become regulars at Il Cavallino, in case there was any doubt about that happening. Between their pizza margherita and their caprese panino, I could eat there every day. Saveria and Stefano (my new parents, the lights of my life, my saviors) welcome us with open arms every day. Saveria is a queen and has really been helping us in our search for Italian friends. Grazie Saveria! Our group has a goal to get our picture on their Wall of Fame, and if we can accomplish that, I think I can speak for everyone when I say that is when we will truly have came, seen, and conquered Italy.
After Il Cavallino we made our way to Yoghi for gelato, which I can tell will be a pretty regular occurrence. Yoghi is the gelato shop with "Kinder" flavor. Kinder is a chocolate bar here that pretty much makes your Milky Ways and Three Musketeers look like clumps of dirt. I'd keep a count of how many "Piccolo Kinder in una coppetta" I've had, but I'm almost ashamed.
Oh, did I mention that after this break for food, on we then make our way to a class about food? Yes. The Philosophy of Food.
In other Italian life events not revolving around food, we're going to the opera in Ancona on Sunday!! And we have begun booking trips, and right now we have confirmed a little weekend getaway to Florence and Rome and a great trip to CROATIA! A country in the Mediterranean I have never been to, which is pretty hard to come by.
Ciao!
woman I literally lived on Kinder Schokolade growing up! Have you gotten the Kinder Surprises yet? they're chocolate eggs that come with prizes inside and they make you feel über cool. I miss you almost as much as i miss that stuff, which is a. lot. <3 love you Mr.
