Veroli


A cat on top of the car in Veroli

Hey everyone! Today was a pretty okay day! I think it will be hard to go back to public schools considering I had trouble getting up around 9-ish today... Anyway today was our first "day trip"! We went to Veroli, which is a small, old, little village about 15 minutes away from where we are staying. My parents (notice not me) decided that we should "get lost" and just explore the town. The only thing that made the trip kind of miserable for me was the fact that I only brought a wind breaker for a coat, and I didn't bring a hat or gloves.... IT WAS WINDY! But it was fun none the less. We first went to a little museum, which I thought was really only okay, but it was pretty cool. Later we went to a little cafe, and luckily for us the lady there spoke english. I had coronette ( or a roll). The lady told of us of some places we could go. My mom decided that we should go see the church.. great idea right?? Wrong, when we peaked through the door, lo and behold! A traditional wedding was taking place. My mom decided that it would be fun to see the wedding, but for me and my dad it kinda felt like wedding crashing. My mom decided that it would be exciting to stay for a little bit, but I thought it was on the edge of rude. After a bit more wandering through the village, we stopped for lunch at a little pizzeria. I had this pizza with only bread and cheese ( I think). Afterwards we headed home for a nap and some letter writing.... And dog walking....

Hey all! ( that would be only three people) Okay well we went out lunch (lunch is the big meal of the day here). The menu they gave us was only in Italian, all I could understand was "pasta" and "pizza". So the waiter came by and I hadn't chosen what I should eat, so my mom said to get this pasta thing. None of us knew what I had gotten. So I was really nervous on what was coming ( I thought maybe a pig's head or seafood). So, I see the waiter coming out and guess what?? Clams! Sorry for all those seafood lovers.... Anyway later in the day some water people came because we had no water pressure in the house at night. They fixed the problem (maybe) and we'll have to see what's going to happen tonight. Sarah Chute: tell your mom to look at the pictures because she told me to post pictures of food :).Our new address (for now) is:

Via di Soprone
Contrada Giglio 135

Yesterday we decided that my home-schooling would be around 9 am to 11 am. But because of jet lag my dad and I woke up at 4 am and we were wide awake. So, then there was really nothing to do so I started on school work. I also went onto facebook because I figured that a lot of my friends would be online because of the time difference. Later in the day we had some dog issues... The inside dog ,Blackie, loves to escape! So we spent the better part of an hour trying to get her inside the house so we could go to town and buy food. So once we got her inside we headed out. The family has three dogs, the other two are Leah and Samantha. Both of them are outside dogs (Blackie is the inside dog and the favorite, don't ask me why though... because they're all cute ;). Anyway, Leah and Samantha pretty much go where ever they want to and they both followed us. They both have boundaries though so they don't follow us all they way. But Leah decided that she needed to follow us all the way which meant lots of getting the dog back to the side of the road quickly and also lots of flinching just in case the dog was stupid enough to stay in the middle of the road....

Fall of the day: fell out of the shower... bruise on my right knee!! fun. fun. fun.

Pictures will come later.. I'm on my dinosaur computer and I'm not sure how to put pictures on...
