Well, I'm through with Siena...for now. I loved my time there and seriously suggest that you get there if you have a chance. I'm just sorry that I have to leave now that I finally feel like I'm getting used to things. Saying goodbye to my friends and (host) family was hard, too. Thankfully we had time to visit at a final dinner at Lavinia and Antonio's house with outstanding food, of course! Here's a picture of the group.
But no matter because I'm off to other adventures. As a matter of fact, I am using a computer at an internet point in Sansepolcro! I am here visiting my friend Bekah that also attends Meredith College. Since we were Italian study partners last year, it's really been a pleasure to catch up with her. She is nannying for a gorgeous and highly entertaining famiglia. Sara and Patrizio have been so wonderful to open their home to me. Last night, we had a great dinner with Sara's parents, sister, and the three fantastic children--Leonardo, Ginevra, and Veronica. Tomorrow I am finally going to meet my cousin Gianna and couldn't be more happy! The ride to Terranova da Sibari is going to be a bit long, but I am so excited. I can't believe that I'm coming home soon, but miss air conditioning and soft towels. I was just wondering the other day if I will remember how to ride a car after walking everywhere. Vediamo!
