Today I only had Italian for three hours in the morning so I was able to get ahead on some work for the week, go on a nice long run and unlike last time, I did not snag my foot on a drain, fall, tumble then quickly turn the corner as if nothing had happened. That is when I realized that cobblestone streets are not flat enough to run on and definitely not soft enough to fall on! I feel like I have done a pretty good job of dressing like the Italian people around me except when I go running - my appearance screams "American Student" as my blond pony tail bops along and my sweatshirt says "Cutler 11" on the back, not exactly an Italian name...
Anyways, as I mentioned earlier there are only 10 girls and 1 guy, Patrick, on this program, and tonight was his 21st birthday. Being in Italy makes the traditional 21st birthday rather anti-climactic, but us girls decided to throw Patrizio (Patrick's Italian name) a surprise party with three different kinds of cake: a chocolate and pair heart loaf, a Nutella and graham cracker crust cake, and finally an apple and marmalade tart. So delicious!!! Here is a pic of the 11 of us. Everyone is really fun, down to earth and we all get along really well!
loving all these great pics
