So I'm really terrible about updating this blog (obviously). Don't fret. I have been keeping a journal since I got here. I write in it everyday and have over 150 pages of wonderful stories to share. I am really bad at doing both the blog and the journal.
So today (November 17th) means that there is only one month more of IES and then I have another 3 weeks with my family. I can't believe it has gone by so fast. I was talking with my friend today and she met a nice Italian who takes a picture a day and posts it. I loved the idea and I have decided to start doing that. I don't have the time to write a lot each day but, as you have heard a million times, pictures say a thousand words. So, for the next month or so, I will post one picture a day here (except for when I am traveling). When I have time I will try to write a little bit but I'm hoping the pictures will be enough. For those of you who actually read this (which is probably no one) feel free to ask me about how it's been so far. I love to talk about it!
I couldnt pick just one picture today. This will probably be the case most days.
I've told a few of you about the parking issues in Italy. This is just one small example of the chaos. Yes, those cars have been parked outside of my house all day. Yes, this is the sidewalk. No, no one is in the car. Yes, it's illegal. No, they dont have tickets.
Usually they are touching. I am not sure how they manage to get out of these "tight" situations. Basically, I dont think they count on their cars staying scratch-less for too long.
I just couldnt resist this one. Christmas has finally arrived! They are starting to put up lights and trees all around the city. I cant wait for the big tree at the Duomo. There is nothing prettier.
Get excited for day 2!
