a well-deserved update: thursday, may 6th- wednesday, may 12th

weekend in amalfi - absolutely amazing. will post pictures later i swear. it was warm and sunny and happy and adorable and the best thing to end the year with. we ate so much lemon gelato and delicious fish.... mmmm.... definitely worth seeing! the ferry-ride to capri wasn't quite worth it though.... darn motion-sickness!!!! breana and i hung in there though! we had giovanna and victoria entertain us with charades and M.A.S.H. 

monday - my roommate allie from smith came to visit! we shopped and strolled all day, seeing nice things and snacking on gelato and due fratellini sandwiches for lunch. dinner was stuffed meat of some kind, potatoes, salad and baby onions, pineapple. then we went out to the old stove pub by the duomo for caitlin's last night - she is going home to graduate on sunday!!! 

tuesday - i went to pistoia to see alayna, lenora, claire and chrysanthe present what they did in the pistoia schools this semester. then i went to study with allie, victoria, anna, breana, etc. at chiaroscuro, this great cafè. we had delicious coffe!  dinner at the host fam's was yummmmmy lasagna with pesto, pecorino and silvia's pepper jelly and then my favorite apple cake!!!!! i then watched someone like you with the host parents - good movie!

wednesday - study time with vic. meatballs, bread, little puffy tort things made of creamed asparagus and cheese???? strawberries and creammmm!!!!!
