SO i've deffinatly had some really interesting experiences since I have been here... the other day my roommate and I went out for pizza only to return to our apartment and realize that the pizza that we ordered had french fries on it!! We found out its kinda popular... you can even get french fries and hotdogs if you want! Pizza Americana... our country leave very odd impressions of people... they think that we eat hotdogs and frech fries all the time!!!!
I've been to the beach about 5 times now...yeah we go all the time! It's beautiful! soft white sand and clear blue water!! And of course sparsly dressed Italian men...hitting on us!!! Bah! it gets really anoying! But I practice my Italian! I now know how to blow off men in 2 languages! :)
I saw of the biggest parties EVER!!! Le Notte Bianca was on Satuday... it basicly a huge party throughout the city, celebrating the arts... so there are street vendors, concerts in every piazza, artists out painting and selling everything...it's CRAZY! it goes on all night..and everyone is out till at least sunrise!!
It was kinda perfect... at around 2am during Notte Bianca fireworks started going off...a guy came out dressed as spiderman!!...The perfect start to the 4th of Gulio!!!! Spending Independance Day in a foreign country is pretty crazy! oh and on top of that one of my friends in the program is from the England!... we gave her such a hard time(she's a good sport) But so we did the most American thing that we could find in Lecce... MCDONALDS!!!! This was the first time I have eaten there in like FOREVER!!! To me, Caffe Yumm is fast food!!... But never has a Big Mac and Coke tasted SO GOOD!!! Molto bene...sono molto contento!!!!!
Can you believe that it is July? This trip will be over before you know it...there is a lot to take in...a lot to learn, glad things are going well...Ti amo molto.
