First Days in Italia!

Ohhhhh my my my. Salerno is a paradise! Its been rainy for the past days..like Forks, in Twilight. Palm trees line the middle of the streets everywhere and they have a beautiful seafront park that looks over the beach. Almost like Hawaii. Tiny shops of all kind are everywhere! I couldn't have gotten a better city!

Good thing I retained my french and some spanish because now I know somewhat of what people are talking about. It's getting easier to understand people since italian is all I here 24/7! I even watched What Happens In Vegas in Italian ♥ ! I know alot of small words now so it's easier to communicate..way easier! Italians have a busy lifestyle it's hard to keep up! I fall asleep in the car everywhere we go! hahaha
And I don't think I have ever watched a football (soccer) game so intentlly with anyone before ..Milan won! <3

I don't think I have EVER eaten sooo much food in my entire life before! The mamà is concerned that I don't eat enough..but I have been eating so much my stomach hurts! Hahaha..cultural differences. The food is soooooooo good! There cheese isn't as good though. I'll be fat when I come back!

They get up very early in the morning and go to bed very late..but after they eat lunch they take naps. And they don't have doorknobs...which is weird. Just key holes. And something you sit on after you use the toliet but I don't know how to use it..it looks scary hahaha.

They have a four story casa with a spiral staircase, a bmw, fiat and a vespa! Way different from how I live in America!

School starts tomorrow! :/ I'm nervous because I'm not oging to have any idea where to go or what to do..and I don't speak Italian very well. So this should be interesting!

I LOVE my family! They are all so so so so cute! Raffy has a horse, Cantora. She does jumps with him and she's extremely good! Steffy is getting ready to become a restaurant manager..she is studying in school for it. Mamà stays home and cooks and cleans alot. And the papà is a buisness manager for designer labels for the lines that haven't come out yet..so he brings home free gifts a lot. Woo! They are all so so so funny..they laugh at the way we do things in America. I didn't know how to cut my meat so I was doing it weirdly and inspecting every piece..and when I looked up they were all staring at me and they laughed hahaha. AND I set their toaster on fire! They put foil around their panini before they put it in the toaster..which is odd. But the mamà set the timer so I could jusy take it out whenever I wanted to..but I didn't know that so I just let it go until it was done. Oh my..smoke was everywhere and the house smelled the rest of the day. And my sandwhich was black lmao. Good thing they have a sense of humor and thought it was hilarious or that would not have been good! They all just laughed.

I'll post pictures as soon as I figure out how to work the thing where you put the USB in :P
