What the...

Well firstly, it's so refreshing to see people you know in a different country. Yesterday I spent some time with the parents of the baby I babysit (who is the cutest and best baby in the world) and their parents (Nonna e Nonno.) They live in a lovely town on the beach called Ladispoli, just outside of Rome and I felt as though I was with my family again. Thank you, Sbordis! :)

After a 6 hour trip back to Perugia from Rome, (damn you, Italian transportation system, you villainous fools!) I ran up into my apartment to drop my things and apparently, the front door doubles as an alarm clock because as soon as I opened it, Fran came sprinting out of his bedroom, awoken from his catnap, facing me in the main hallway-- in Speedos. I don't know who was more embarrassed.

I then ran off to the university, got my schedule and I almost crapped myself. I have classes 9 hours a day, 4 days a week. Yikes, they weren't kidding when they said intensive, were they...

Off to Milan tomorrow to visit some family friends and then Rome on Sunday for the Finals! Italy vs. France, fyi.

Pictures, finally!

Here are some photos from Berlin during the Germany vs. Argentina game as well as the Germany vs. Italy game. (As you can see, they even had mock-beach volleyball on the Fan Mile!) Someday, I will upload the videos and post the links for you guys. :)
