I mentioned earlier that it has gotten really hot...I wasn't kidding. And for a bunch of students who didn't bring many, if any shorts....it's awfully sweaty. Thankfully I have one skirt, which I wore today. But I'm developing quite a farmer's tan. Looks like I'm leaving just before the full wave of summer hits Italy, and that's fine with me. I'm not prepared!
Well, tonight for dinner we had pasta, rabbit and peperochoni (vegetables cooked with peppers). I really like rabbit. It's so good on hot days like today. What's funny about Italian dinner here and what is considered "Italian" in the States is the pasta. Here pasta isn't really fussed over, it's considered the first course, or appetizer. When at home we would consider it the whole meal! We had Kiwis for dessert. I actually learned the proper way to eat a Kiwi here. You cut it in half and scoop out the insides, like a soft boiled egg. I don't know why it never occurred to me before...
Today I did my laundry (last load in Italy, hurray) and went to school and ate lunch. Then a bunch of us went to the market and got some presents for our friends and family back home. I had to go and look at some palaces for homework and then we all got gelato across the river. Cause Rachel and I have decided that we must eat gelato every day this week, because it's our last week in Italy!
Well, I gotta get some sleep!
Ciao!
