My New Home

Today I went to the other house I will be nannying at (sister of family). We drove up winding roads until  colorful houses, built into the cliffs, came into view. Their artistic house is white with green shutters and has the most beautiful view of the entire city! The roof is made of giant domes that Fasano, Italy is known for. The house isn't huge but their property is filled with gardens, seating areas, and a tree farm.

The two children are Carlo's cousins (ages 7 and 9). They are two of the happiest children I have ever met. The patience they have with communicating English to me is so exciting. I constantly am learning from them while they do the same with me. I have am now aware of how much Italian families hug and kiss. After two days of knowing these children, they are already kissing me on the cheek!

The food has been amazing, and I am finally starting to adjust to Italy time. The family works constantly to make sure that I am happy and comfortable here which is so awesome! The weather has been to my liking...around 70 degrees and sunny (getting chilly at night). My family says the hot weather will kick in very soon. I started to take pictures today, but my internet is too slow to load them. I should be getting some up quite shortly!

Funny Fact- Before lunch I was washing my hands and grabbed a towel in the bathroom to dry them. Shortly after, I realized it was the towel for their bidet! Yuck.
