My room |
Now that the 2 week homestay is over and I’ve moved on to my
apartment I think it’s about time I show you some pictures of where I’ve been
living. For the first two weeks of my
time in Italy I stayed with a great lady named Daniela in her beautiful home
with on American roommate, Brittany.
Brittany and I were extremely lucky and got our own rooms. Both of our rooms were brightly colored and
filled with art work done by Daniela’s father in law.
Our favorite parts of Daniela’s house were all her balconies
(she has 3!!!). And they were all packed
with flowers and fruit plants. She is
particularly proud of her lemons. She
even makes limoncello out of them. These
balconies were our favorite place to do homework.
Daniela was such a great cook too. I forgot to take pictures of her cooking
because I was always so excited just to eat what she made. One of my favorite meals she made was Piadina,
a flat bread that is traditional to the region of Italy where she was born,
with sausage. On the last night we were with Daniela, she
threw a big potluck party for everyone in our program.
It was bittersweet moving out of Daniela’s house and into
our apartment but Daniela is the owner of our apartment and she has been inviting us over for dinner once a week so we will still be
seeing her every once in a while.
