I can't believe I only have ten more days here. I wish I was staying longer because I'm finally at the point where I can (sort of) communicate what I'm feeling and thinking. My Italian has improved, my host family's English has improved and my understanding of how incredibly huge this world is has grown exponentially.
I just returned yesterday from a weekend trip to Ravenna, Vicenza, Venezia, and Verona (photos to follow soon). I'm more tired than I was from the jet lag when I first arrived. It was a great trip and I really enjoyed getting to know my new friend Mel who went with me (She's also American). I have to say that Ravenna is my favorite city I've been to. There was a calm, laid back feel to the city and I think if I ever were to live in Italy I would live there.
It was great to see an old friend in Vicenza and make new ones :) It was also really nice to have American food, haha. As great as my trip was I can't express how happy I am to be back with my host family. I didn't realize how much I missed them until I came back. My host family has become my "home" away from home. This weekend I go to Rome and Florence and as exciting as that is, I'm wishing I would have gone earlier so I could just spend the rest of my time here with my family.
I hope you're all doing well and I promise to get the photos up today or tomorrow
