Molto Buono

Today is the second day in Italy. I have already eaten the best sandwhich of my life (which consisted of  the most delicious meet in the world called specs), seen an italian woman on the side of the road in just a thong, and a fat old man in a speedo. Nonetheless, this is such an amazing and beautiful place. It is crazy how much there lives are focussed on togetherness. First we play a game where everyone lines up in a circle (boy girl boy girl...) and suck on a post it note and pass it to the person next to you by having them suck on the post it note in your mouth. THEN we played a game where boys line up on one side and girls on the other and one person in the middle. The girl on one side must kiss the boy called before he can kiss the girl in the middle. Thankfully I was wearing shorts because it got very intense and a girls dress went completely up revealing everything each of the 3 times she was called.... These games were ridiculous but extremely fun. Now the food... God the food is bloody delicious. Each meal served with bread, a plate of pasta, and a meat and vegetable dish followed by the BEST DESSERT EVER. For dinner today the dessert consisted of what seamed like a scoop of vanilla and chocolate ice cream. OH NO in was a cake pastry filled with chocolate and vanilla mousse surrounded by a thin layer of ice cream. Now, all of you reading this may be thinking dear god how fat is Grace going to be by the time she gets home but there is absolutely no snacking here so I don't think I'll be too bad...hopefully. The language here is so awesome to listen to I really wish I could speak it. There is an old man here with us named Paulo and he's so precious and old but speaks very little English so it's hard to communicate by I try REALLY hard to understand his italian cause I just want to be a friend, I think he likes me because I try so hard to speak a language I don't know a lick of. Anywho, the internet sucks here but the rest of the art sculpting kids and I will be leaving Thursday morning so I wont be here much longer so I might get better internet soon. Ciao!
