It's 11:30 pm and we just finished dinner which began around 8:30 pm. This is kind of amazing, but slightly probmatic at the same time. My new host mother Loves to cook and to have guests over, so every other night is like a dinner party. Today for example, she prepared a three course meal in honor of a student who is leaving this week. Some students from her studio and a coworker also joined us for the meal.
The first course is always a heaping plate of pasta, the second course varies but usually involves some sort of meat, salad, bread, etc. And the dessert was this great chocolate tort and biscotti and Vin Santo. At one point there were four bottles of wine on the table. And it's a Tuesday night!
I kept telling her that I couldn't breathe from eating too much but this pleases her and she insists I eat more. Haha, so it's a challenge for my stomach as well as my language skills as we only speak in Italian. Each dinner is like a mini victory for me. I'm updating from my phone right now and although I can't upload pictures from my camera I might be able to upload pictures from my phone! Hopefully tomorrow or at least the day after. I still can't breathe, haha omg really, too much food!

Oh gosh, I need to call AT&T...
I'm glad you're eating a lot. Haha you're still probably going to lose weight or something because you're probably at least eating healthy stuff. Anyway. I MISS YOU. I looked at baby pictures last night and I cried. Haha! Funny.
I hope you don't run up a $10k phone bill there Clara...
Anyways, I have my laptop with me, and if all goes well (and it makes it in one piece on EasyJet) you'll be able to post some pictures!
Also have that CD for ya... Be careful with using your iPhone there!
