Hi everyone,
We made it and it is beautiful! Yesterday we got in and in true Dashields fashion it was pouring rain. our driver Mario was there right on time (Sherra :)) and it took us an hour to get to apartment. Mario was adorable and did a great job of speaking English but his driving and the driving of the rest of the Italians is crazy. I felt like Jason Borne rushing down all these narrow roads at about 60k per hour while its raining and on coming traffic is just as much in a hurry. we made it safe with Stefania waiting outside for us. the place is so cute and comfy. Because it was raining and we were hungry Stefania drove us to a market so we can get some food and to a local bar to get pizza. the pizza oven wasn't on yet so they make us these sandwiches. the sandwiches almost made me cry they were so delicious! they we made with ciabatta bread with mozzarella cheese, grilled aubergine (eggplant)marinated in olive oil and garlic and toasted in the oven. the other one was Caprese (mozzarella, tomato and basil. very basic but the best sandwich I ever had and Landry and Rob agree. after dinner we were exhausted and fell asleep until 2 pm today or 8 am your time. our phones don't work but Stefanie gave us her computer for communication. hey Lauren can you get in touch with my mom and tell her we made it. I don't want her coming here to get me because didn't call. anyway i am sitting on our baloney eating a bowl of pasta listening to this lady and her baby talking to a cat and the horns of the cars that are passing the narrow road. if anyone has suggestions as to what they want to know about send a comment and I will try my best to keep you all entertained. Ciao for now.
I need Gee's number I only have her email, and I'm glad you guys are alive, I did send a threatening msg to your emails lol. I would like to see lots of pics (esp one of Mario lol), and pics to show that you aren't wearing jeans and ts everyday lol. Hug my other Dashields lol

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you made it safely. I would love to see pictures of the architecture. You know want to know what you guys are eating..would like to feel like I'm reading a food mag....lol...The aubergine and caprese sandwich sounds good, matter of fact I think I'm goin to make the aubergine sandwich and pretend I'm in Italy..lol What is your warbrobe like?

ReplyDelete(I guess that is what it is called). Bye
Ok! First off I'm totally loving this blog! I've been secretly stalking you guys for the past four days and now that the cat is completely out the bag what are the italian ppl like? Do they really come up to you and hug u and kiss both cheeks every five minutes? Is there even a crime rate in italy? Could I really get an authentic leather jacket under 40 bucks? Yea I'm kinda hype, I know lol Have a blast you guys! I can't wait to see the pics
ReplyDeleteWow...sitting on the balcony eating pasta sounds soooo...Italian! LOL! What kind of pasta are you eating? Does it taste different different from the stuff over here? What about their real deal olive oil?? YUM! And AUTHENTIC Caprese sandwich! YUMMMM!
ReplyDeleteI guess the only thing that would be best is PICTURES, PICTURES, PICTURES!!! In addition to the Dashields, take pictures of your apt, the street you're staying on, Stefania (if she doesn't mind),
the markets, (if your taking that cooking class) take pics of you in there, your classmates, the school....oh, and don't forget about the view from your balcony! Do it up Boo! :)
Take pictures of Italian men!!! Especially the cute ones (who am I kidding only take pics of the cute ones lol)...
ReplyDeleteThanks for talking about the food I love that part!!!! It sounds delicious and you know Italian :)...Like Lynn-net said I want to hear about the open markets...Are there any small towns your going to?? If so, is it similar to a little villa? Are you guys going to Florence? Let me know if you go to pompeii?? OHHH are you going to the coliseum?
Ok I know its false religion and I dont want a picture but ask the taxi to just hurry you past the sistine chapel..Im just saying lol..HAVE A BLAST!!
Enjoy! Enjoy! I want to know the same things everyone else asked about...the people, the food, the traffic. Don't they drive on the other side of the road?
