Ultima notte in Italia

Well these are the last of my Italy pictures! I FINALLY got them all up here. This has been an oppoortunity I will never forget. I have learned so much in the past eight months and I was lucky enough to share it with one of the most amazing families there is!
This was Dinner my last night in Italy :( It was a beautiful restaurant at the top of the Mountain looking over the lake in Lecco. BELLISSIMA. Sorry these pictures aren't very clear, but you get the idea. I'm still going to keep up the blogging but my adventures will just be in America from now on! :)

Always a Party

GAH! I want to see them so bad....just to play with them, and make potions, and play "sckacha-racha," (the game we made up!) or bake cookies, or read stories, or fall asleep on the couch.... :(

Okay listen to what i heard them say one day... (It was all said in italian by the way which is SO MUCH cuter than english)
Emma: "I need to change my swimsuit"
Ricki: "But why do you need to change? You look beautiful in the swimsuit with the flower on it!" Emma: "No, because it's wet"
Ricki: "Oh, okay!" Deer Spotting! Madre e Figlia!

I went to Rome. Alone. ha

Trip to Rome. Here's my story:
Booked a hostel becasue I was supposed to go with 3 other girls. Ended up going alone but kept the hostel. Got to my hostel and was shown to my room of 5 other guys. Got hit on and invited to party by the creepy dudes. Called dad freaking out. Left and got the first hotel I found. Had an amazing four days in Rome! hahahaha
I actually didn't mind the trip alone. It was nice to take my time and see everything! BUT, I definately won't be making it a habit! Everything is fun with other people!
