la dolce vita....

My time here is now really coming to a close. I leave May 25th. It's so strange to think about coming home and at this point placerville now seems more unfamiliar than italy. It's going to be so strange to go back to speaking english and i know i will miss speaking italian. It's so funny because now sometimes when i speak english i pronounce the words like the italians do :) I have been truly having a wonderful time here now and just enjoying the life. I have been so busy here lately and it doesnt hurt that the last 3 weeks of school we have only had 3 days of school per week. Right now is the festa di san nicola the saint of bari. It's been great to go see a festival so particular to my area. I've also just been having fun chilling with friends i've felt like i've been able to really open up and be myself because i'm so far past the language barrier now. We always go out and just get caffe and drinks in the piazza where there is always people. Today I went out on my friend Alessandro's boat which was amazing and I got to see the boat where there was the statue of san nicola. My friends are having fun teaching me barese dialect which sounds so strange. Also today I went over to my friend Nico's house where he has a huge thing for dj-ing which was fun. I think Sunday i'm going to a friend Alex from the 4t years party.
tanti baci

i can't wait to see everyone!
