Hey this is Evan. Greetings from Italy. This is my first time writing so I want to fill in all the readers on everything that has happened since I got here. The first day after landing we walked around and got some gelato. I fell asleep at 6:30 because we had just traveled over 24 hours. I woke up the next day at 2:30. The next night i couldn't fall asleep until 5:30 in the morning. A few days later I got a cold. The first few days, as you can see, were pretty tough on me. I have really enjoyed walking through the markets with all the street vendors. Above is a picture of me looking through a window with a real gasmask from World War II that I purchased from one of the side street flea markets selling Italian World War II antiques
School has started, and like it is always is for the new kid, it was a little tough. The Italian kids here keep to themselves and it took time getting used to. But now I think I am situated and all is well.
One thing I really like is the food, especially the pasta and pizza. The pizza has a very thin crust, and the cheese is very good. My favorite is the gelato, especially fragola (strawberry). The food is fresh.I like to grocery shop and cook.
Evan.
