Jelly Fish

Everything and everyone here in Italy is chill. Everyday we go to the beach (incredibly nice) and EVERYONE wears skimpy clothing. I think Ive seen 2 one piece bathing suits and 3 long shorts for boys (which isnt a bad thing considering the fact that every young italian has a rockin body). But no matter what the size people flaunt what they got here. Its so wierd how to me it sounds like people are saying hfdkjshfkjhdaskfha when they are actually having a complete conversation. Ive actually gotten a lot better at understanding what people are saying its producing the words thats hard. Yesterday when we were out in a boat Beatrice, my little host sister, saw something scary in the water and everyone kept yelling MEDUSA MEDUSA but I couldnt see it so Im thinking that Im about to be eaten as a shark. It turns out Medusa means jelly fish and Beatrice loves to say jelly fish now. So other than my beach adventures last night we went to the gathering of all of the kids in the Carrara sculpting program. I couldnt believe my eyes when we entered the coolest art room ever. I felt like I was going to the opening of an art exhibit of a famous artist. It was nice to see the kids from America and here about their experiences. One got in a car accident where the car flipped completely over and crushed his hand on the first day. After that me and my two host families walked around the center of Carrara at night. It was the most beautiful sight in the world. Its ine thing during the day but at night its absolutely stunning. Colored lights line the night skies and lit up marble statues are featured in the streets. People sit outside and the restaurants lined on the streets and music hums in the background. I hope everyone has the chance to experience a moment when they want to cry because everything feels simply so right. I knew I was in the right place at the right time. Other than my cheesy moment with the world we ended the evening with gelato and a tour of the marble museum. Now what I am really excited for is the Italia vs. Espagna game Sunday night shown on a huge screen in the town center (: (: (:
