The Language of ...

Love? Im pretty sure thats French, but alas. I have officially begun my Italian studies and definitely feel slight improvements and comprehension here and there. For such a laid back people, though, they sure have a lot of verb tenses! Luckily my class is only covering a few basic ones.

Its such a diversity of people here, though, which makes it interesting- in my class we have me, an Anglican priest from Australia, a 19 year old from Switzerland, an Austrian environmental engineer, a labor lawyer from Barcelona, and a Russian girl whose family just bought a country house in Tuscany. I may start making up tidbits about my life to make it sound more interesting :) Although I always forget until I leave the US just how fascinated people are with all things American. It makes me feel tres cool.

Off to relax in the sun...

Ciao amici!

  1. That's right--Australians in the house! It sounds like you're having a great time. And don't forget that saying you're from New York impresses people all on its own. If only they knew....

    Any update on the luggage?
