Well, I apologize for my failure to post in the last three days. There has been only about two things that have happened. I will describe my day of two days ago first. This is the same day as the historical trip to Ortigia. I spent that night at the house of Gianmarco. This wasn't bad, we spent the night watching a horror movie called 'The Descent' which had a horrible ending. The next day we woke up around 11 and hung out around the house till pranzo (lunch). We had chicken, but Gian was making jokes about it being cat, though this got on my nerves cause the only reason he did was because he knew I would get caught up with the language. I think he likes the control. Anyway, after this some other people came over and we walked to the local soccer field. Now when I say we played almost all day I mean it. We started around 3 and didn't stop playing until the sun started to go down. We got in about three games. I told them that I played defensive back in gym class with Mr. Petty, so that's what I did. During the game I got the nickname 'mura di rocca' (wall of rock) because every person that came with the ball I either stole it from them or they kicked it away when they saw me coming. After the game I got mvp for that game, so I was happy. That was the one thing that happened.
Yesterday Alessandro came back and he slept all day, but I don't blame him, he got up early to catch a plane in Florence. While he slept I watched 'Tootsie' with Franscenca. Now one thing over here that's strange... they don't really get the full affect of movies cause all the actors voices are dubbed over with someone trying to imitate that actors voice in Italian. For example, I've watched 'Forrest Gump' in Italian since I've been here, and I found myself saying all the words to get the affect. So watching 'Tootsie' without Duston Hoffmans voice was weird and unfufilling when he came out and said "I'M HER BROTHER".
Now the highlight of my week happened last night. While preparing the table for dinner, Valerio asked me if I knew what the Grand Prix is. I said yes, I've seen pictures and such things. He said I have two tickets for next week, wanna go? I first asked if he asked Pier and Alle first, and he said yes, but they don't want to go. So on Saturday Valerio and I are taking a flight to Milan and going to see the city, then the next day going to watch the Grand Prix of the world, though I think it lasts for more than one day if I'm right. For those of you who don't know what the Grand Prix is... it's kind of like the older and wiser brother of Nascar who warned him to watch out for the drink and not go to the American south, but he didn't listen. Actually its a race that's held in many different countries and is on a course that is set instead of a constant circle
Today I am waiting for Francesca to get home then me and her are going out to get ingredients for me to make 'sizzilin prosciute'. So I'll be sure to post later probably next week after the Grand Prix. Ciao!
