It's your lucky day

Two posts in one day. Oh, yea!

So, today's edition of the blog should have read "pasta/rice" instead of rice. The reason I couldn't get my rice to turn out right was because it wasn't rice. It was pasta that was shaped like rice. Go ahead and laugh at me. I'm laughing along with you. When the message finally made it through the great barrier wall, aka my lack of Italian, I laughed so hard it was crazy. Anyway, thanks to all of you who sent me instructions on how to boil rice. I appreciate it. Now, if I move Asia one day, I won't starve.

Also, you know your an addict when you are willing to walk 4 miles (2 of them uphill) to get chocolate ice cream and a coke. The lady at the ice cream shop here (also known as the only establishment still open past 7. There isn't a large vampire community here I am guessing) knows me now. When I walk up I get a "ciao" and she automatically grabs a waffle cone. I'm a regular. Please, don't let her know who I am, though. I'm enjoying the anonymity. Goodness knows I'm being stalked everywhere else I go (that one was for you Dad. If you don't know, ask Seth).

I met a lady today from Milano who lives part of the year in California. She started an inclusion Italian school there. Her little girl is so cute. OK, time to go. Ttyl.

Hey everyone, Let’s see....I went waterskiing this week. Thanks to grandpa for teaching me how to slalom. It is more difficult in the ocean than the nice flat lake and I had to drop a ski because the boat wasn’t powerful enough to haul my big butt out of the water on one ski. Nevertheless, I had a fun time and made it before I did a spectacular flip/ nose-dive. I forgot how sore it makes you the next day and I couldn’t make a fist because I used all of those wrist muscles to pull myself out of the water. It was so much fun. Yesterday some friends of the family from NY came. We spent the day on the boat I got to spend some time talking with people who spoke English. The family was so nice I we had a lot of fun swimming and bouncing on the waves. They pointed out something that I never noticed about Elba. There are no clouds here. It never rains because it is the summer time (that isn’t weird) but I realized that it is kind of a strange thing that I could never quite pu...

Scusa!

Hey guys, First things first: sorry that it has taken me so long to get on here. I was having some connection problems. I don't have everything resolved so I might be putting some stuff like pictures on after this message. Bear with me. Last night was so much fun. We are in Capoliveri on the Island of Elba and they have a festival/ party one night every week during the month of August. It is kind of a mix between Halloween and Marti-Gras but without the naked/ costumes. The whole town is decked out in periwinkle (thanks to Camille I know what that color is), purple, and black. All night there was music in the streets and it seemed like the whole island was milling about the small hilltop. They have this tradition to let small homemade balloons into the sky at 1:00 in the morning. It was really beautiful. The balloons are like hot air balloons but they are the size of big beach bags. There is a little square of some kind of flammable material inside on metal hangars that you light ...
