That is the outside of the Museum.. Seems kinda blah, but inside.. what a different story.What a day, where do I start!
Well I woke up this morning and went to school where we had a group meeting just to make sure no one was having trouble with their host families and stuff like that. That went well. After that we went to Santa Maria della Scala museum... This is a museum with art and architecture... OMG IT WAS AMAZING! From the outside of the place your like... okay whatever. Even when your on the first floor I'm like okay a lot of art thats nice... art in an old building. Interesting but not mind blowing to me. THEN!! I find out that their is a basement... and a basement of the basement, and nother basement of that basement.... 4 floors down later... I was speechless. It was just unbelievable. The building was constructed in like 800ad or something nuts like that... It has been remodeled and added onto so many times it is just unreal... Unreal how many hidden doorways and little tunnels there are, and hidden rooms and omg. I can't even begin to explain it. Unfortunately that didn't allow pictures :( But man did I want to! I bought a book about it but its in Italian... so its a motivator for me to learn Italian better :). But it has pictures... but none of them begin to show you the crazy architecture in this place... Not to mention that it was huge! I was there for 3 hours and i was constantly moving! Yea, that definently pumped me up for the day.
So when we were done there me and a couple girls went to the store.. Yesterday I went and I thought I had bought face wash... which apparently turned out to be body milk? lotiony stuff.. oops.. lol. So today I bought what I hope is face wash. My host mom says it is so.. lol. phew. After the store we went for lunch and I got a kebob. mmmm. yummy.. idk what it is made with. lol. Its a pitaish type thing with lamb.. or pork or something... and lettuce and tomato and a bunch of sauces and stuff. It's good thats all that matters. Then after that we got gelato... I tried Lemon.. OH MY GOD! when I tasted it I almost fell to the ground. It is just unreal... very very very very very good. It tops the Chocolate and I thought that was impossible.
After this we went back to the school where we got to just in time before it started to rain... and it rained.. and rained... and rained................... at 6 I finally said forget it and started to get ready to leave anyways... I decided to walk home today. It was a great walk. Took about an hour. I took lots of pictures :).
Today for dinner I had Tortellini con panna e prosciutto, insalata condita con olio d'olivo e sale e pepe, e pescefritto, e crema e fragole.... (Tortellini with cream and ham, then salad with a dressing of olive oil and salt and peper, and fried fish, and for dessert we had vanilla pudding ish type stuff with strawberries on top.
After dinner I talked with my host mom Giorgia. She told me how to say the months and days of the week and then we talked about the geography of Italy, and then about the geography of the USA. She is coming to the US in august and was curiouse about NY because she will be there. I then showed her some pictures of Niagara falls and Rochester and stuff. And now I sit here at 1230 in the morning writting this. So the night went quick.. the whole day did.
I got to chat with Joe today.. both joes :) and I talked to Michael on the phone :). I also talked with Victor and Crystal... So I got a good share in with people before I don't have internet for a while now. Until Monday.
I've decided I'm gonna have to get another bag for souveigniers or something because I want to but stuff and yet I literally have noo room to put it to bring it back... So I have a couple weeks to create a soulution to this problem.
Well I'm gonna head to bed. I gotta be up at 645.
