Goodbye my sweet paradise, Carrara
Carrara- the coolest town I've ever been to. There's always a place to go to, something to do. Nestled perfectly between marble mountains and sea, Carrara has the perfect calmness of sun bathing all day and the upbeatness of the marina at night. The people in Carrara are all pretty wild- very..... touchy. But they're all just down for some good fun. I am going to miss walking up to my house up in the mountains, passing through the classic old school italian houses with everyone's underwear hanging outside. I am going to miss the delicious food-meal after meal after meal (yes I'm fatter). Specifically I am mostly going to miss the bread and prosciutto (back to not eating meat once I get in the states because I think I've really done some major dammage on the pig population). I am going to miss both of my incredible host families. The first one I felt right at home within the first day. I really felt part of the family immediately. The grandma was literally superwoman. The way that woman cleaned my room, washed my clothed, and kept feeding me delicious food, just wow. My first family was much more fast-paced, go go go, but I loved it because I hate being bored so literally everynight we would go out on the town. Plus my father was a lifeguard which is really boss, I'm mad though because I never did get as tan as him... he made fun of me for being so white. My second family was amazing too. They were much more calmer and they reminded me a lot of home. The parents reminded me much of my own. It was so homey here, and I was always relaxed. I guess it's easy to forget your worries when you live in the clouds. The mother here did it all too!(cook, clean, laundry... and take care of the cutest and rambunctious 7 year old girl). I really don't understand how every woman here can cook so brilliantly. But sadly this chapter comes to a close and today is my last day in Carrara. I have 3 days in Rome before home but I doubt I'll have anywhere to access the internet. I'll try not to forget all the italian I've learned and one day I'll come back. It's been reak Carrara, thanks for showing me a good time.
