Cucchiaio
Now I am very disapointed that none of you are commenting on my blog. I can see that people are creeping and reading it but no comments.... Anyways, I would just like to share with you my thoughts on my first day at marble sculpting school. I thought there would be some introduction, maybe some safety cautions but nope we walked write in and got to drilling. Were starting off with copying this pre made piece adn we have to recreate it. Its pretty hard and really tiring. Its like taking a baby jack hammer and putting it on this 12 by 12 cube of marble. My hand is still cramping. The guy asked me if I played any sports because he thought I was the strongest since I dug mime the deepest the farther so HA! Its a great way to take out your anger and flows your creative juices so I reccommend it. I felt really awesome knowing that I was using this cool tool while carving a marble block in the marble capitol of the world now how many people can say that? Other than that things have been pretty marble just chilling at the beach. Today was pretty chilly though. Oh also I would like to mention the fact that italy had a rough loss against spain in the finals. I was at this sports bar watching the game on the mega screen and I felt like if people found out I was American people would kick me out... Luckily people didnt get angry like I expected if they were to lose but they thought it was funny because we got creamed. The goalie for Italy is actually from the town Im staying in isn't that awesome? Just a random thought- cucchiaio is my favorite italian word. It means spoon. Ciao!

ReplyDeleteFirst, I'm wondering how that boy's hand is. Is it difficult to understand the instructor? I assume he is speaking Italian. Can you put up pics? Have you taken any pics?
ReplyDeleteI love Europe. Don't you? When I was in Poland I passed the Euro 12 stadium(: It was sweet. And I stayed in one of the hosting towns for a bit. We saw some legit soccer players(: But hey I'm glad you're having a good time! The old man you talked about sounds like an Italian Doug ;) Missing you lots around here. But tell me, what does "pretty marble just chillin at the beach" mean? lol. Typo? Aaaaanyway, hey are you having to use a European keyboard with the letters all mixed up? LOVE YOU GRACIE(:

ReplyDeleteHi Grace,
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. Sounds like you're having a wonderful time.
Hope you're taking lots of pictures. We're anxious to see them. We're going to Jessica's wedding and will be in Mentor when you get home.
Happy 4th of July.

GRACE,
ReplyDeleteKeep your blogs coming. They are very, very interesting!You give us a totally different aspect of Italian life How's your Italian coming? Are you getting comfortable in communicating. Do those of your age group have a grasp of the English language? Happy 4th to you.

Grandma and Grandpa- can't wait to see you guys! Italian is becoming much easier to understand but speaking it is another story... It's a lot of charades but it's quite funny. Almost all of the teenagers here speak great English so that helps a lot. Can't wait to speak to you in person.
