Imparare l'italiano (Learning Italian)


It rained tonight which was a change since its been so hot lately. There was thunder and lightning too, but mainly "fulmine" (lightning). We watched it from the balcony before we went out to dinner. Kyle really wanted to take me to this place right downstairs that has amazing pizza called Fresco's which means "Fresh" in Italiano. Their name doesn't lie. Since I still don't really know the language Kyle ordered for us. Their pizzas were huge! I only finished a fourth of mine, it had tomatoes, basil and mozzarella di bufala (buffalo mozzarella) that was very Fresco!


We took a walk down to the harbor after dinner. It wasn't raining then but there was still fulmine over the island Ischia, which is like a Catalina to us. It was really very pretty to watch and there wasn't any rain, just light over the island. The harbor is really close and on the walk down we saw a spot of Locks of Love that Christine and Dan were telling us about. We will have to go get a padlock and add one here. Down at the harbor theres a really long and wide boardwalk thats made out of granite and mosaics. Its huge and Kyle said he thinks it stretches all the way down to Naples.

Bringing the Cooking Lessons Home

We left the hotel at the Neapolitan time of 10ish or 11ish and headed back to the town to find some breakfast. We parked in another paid parking lot so Kyle was happy. After breakfast we looked in a couple of shops after to see if we could find a ravioli cutter but still no luck. So weird. It was so nice out again, such good luck with the weather. We found another cute look out area that was apart of the "public gardens" we found in the guidebook at the hotel. It was just a little area with benches and the look out, not many flowers or garden like things.  When we were walking back to the car we saw this sign on a wood shop and I had to take a photo for dad. I thought it was so clever! Still on a mission for a ravioli cutter we headed towards Pozzuoli to try and go to their "Costco-Like" or "Walmart-Like" stores they have. One is called Leroy Merlin and the other is Auchan. The one we went to was apart of this huge mall. Kyle and I h...

Boston, MA + Sam Adams Brewery (by Kyle)

2 January 2013 Boston, MA and Newport, RI This is Kyle again, I have returned to write another blog about my trip to the East Coast.  Laura and I had an awesome time on New Years and New Years day.  We woke up early this morning in preparation for our trip to Boston and rushed to Kinkos so we could print our bus tickets.  We hauled our stuff quickly to Chinatown and hopped on the Fung-Wah bus.  Laura and I slept on and off throughout the ride and finally arrived in Boston 4 hours later.  We quickly departed the bus station and headed directly to the Sam Adam's brewery. On the way we saw Kady's street! We got there just in time for the tasting session of their final tour of the day!  The beer was so fresh and amazing!  We met up with some of Laura's friends who were also in Boston (the same ones we met up with on New Year's Eve-Day). Lily, Laura, Me, Alexian and Eric at Sam Adams! We headed over to the local pub called Doyles that ...

2 more days!

I feel so completely overwhelmed right now. At this moment in time I have pretty much seen everyone and said all my good byes. Its been a rough week knowing that when I do get back from Italy, I may not have time to see some of the people I've seen this week. But at the same time I can't even freaking wait to get on that plane and head out of the country! Pretty much tomorrow is my last day for me to do anything and EVERYTHING! I do have quite the list of things I need to double check and finish tomorrow before I take off on Tuesday, seeing how I won't have any time to do it that day. I went to get my nails done and had dinner with the girls tonight, minus Natalie :( poor girl. But Ash did show up for dinner so that was nice and it was a good send off after spending the rest of the night with my second family. They will be missed most definitely but it is good preparation for my move, which I don't even want to think about. Ugh this craziness needs to die down soon! ...
