Moving In!

After two days in Rome; Emma and I headed to Florence.  The morning of the train ride was very hectic! There were a few other people staying the our hostel and they were a little bit scary; so Emma and I grabbed all of our things and left without showering or getting ready. In other words: we were looking good.  We carried all of our stuff to the train and my bag is heavy! ahh. But we finally got there and headed out. They told us it would be a three hour trip. After the first hour a man came by asking to see our tickets so he could stamp them. He told us that we were in the first class car and we didn't have first class tickets! that meant we would have to get all of our stuff and move it three cars down on a moving train! We decided to stay and take our chances. Thankfully he didn't come back and we made it without being kicked off in some little city! When we got to the train station we had to get a taxi to take us to our host family's house. Which might I add is probably scarier than bungie jumping. BUT we made it alive and we moved in!

Sabrina's giardino

 We live in a cute little house with Sabrina and her 11 month old son, Leonardo. Sabrina is a great cook and she is very nice! We love that she has a little baby because she says simple phrases and words over and over and it help us learn them. (yes we are kind of like babies over here)

Our room!

 After we got settled in; it was time to go meet the group at the Duomo! There are 26 of us and we walked to our school and met all of our teachers! All of them are very funny and love what they do; that makes it really fun to learn.

Sometimes Emma and I forget we are in Italy and then remember and get excited all over again!

First day of school pic!

 Arecentconversation we had went "Hey what do you want to this weekend?" "I don't know, we could go to Milan. (silence for a second) Ummm I cant believe we can just say,'lets got to Milan.'" We are having a lot of fun and we try to use our Italian whenever possible.

A lot of people smile and laugh at our accents but some like to have conversations with us and we try our best to keep up! Allora Buongiorno!!
