Ah, la dolce vita in Arezzo, Italia! Io prendo la linga veloce! Ma, non troppo veloce! si..... Italia, mi amore! La vista è bellisima della finestre. Si! E la cita è piccolo, ma divertirsi... e bonita!

New things tried, used or viewed in a nutshell:
birra Italiana
Vino Rosso
gelato
jousting competition
witnessed la citta split into 4 competitive quarters w/ mob fights resulting
drunken/passng out room mate (io amo Claire!)
drinking free alcohol in the street with Italians

speaking and comprehending Spitanglish
Living in AREZZO!
WALKINGGGGGG

Ya'll I am gonna be emaciated when I come back! It is a 20 minute walk down the hill and back up the escalators that go up to il duomo (grande catedrale) where there is a gate into the walled in city di Arezzo. Our meals are at like... 8AM, 1PM, 8PM with no snacking in between, and no food from Friday afternoon to Sunday night. Oh and we can't keep food in our rooms. Weeee! losing weight the forceful way! Ma(but), I don't mind! It's good for me :o)

Okay, è finito per oggi!
