Hello everyone from SIENA! On Friday I left for Alicia and Alfredo's in Siena, to be with them for a few days and then catch up with my class on our hilltowns tour. Between yesterday and today, I'm pretty sure I've met all of Alfredo's relatives. If I don't know italian by now, I'm in trouble. It was interesting being at a table with so many people and feeling so lost! Of course, unfortunately, I can understand mostly everything, or have at least a clue what's going on, but when it comes to speaking anything, and anyone looks at me to say just anything, I have only a pocchino of knowledge. I can say anything to get me around in Rome, "can I have this, is it possible to __," but real life conversation? Eh.
Some weird things: first of all, Alfredo's grandmother kept feeding and feeding me, I felt rediculous. I probably gained 10 pounds in the past 2 days. ALSO-they drink GRAPPA in their espresso. Not to mention, everyone drinks espresso like 24x a day.
Tomorrow: I will be going with Alicia to try on her wedding dress! I'm really excited to see it. At night, I'm meeting back up with my class, who will just be arriving in Siena for the beginning of our Hilltowns trip. How great does that work out?
Talk to you all soon! I will be on my tour for the next 5 days...and then MATT COMES TO ROME!!!
Hello to Pipes, Sleepy's, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS! Love you all!!
