Tonight I just got home from driving stick for the first time. If that wasn't hard enough, the father can barely speak english! I don't think he realized how little I knew about the whole manual car concept. When the car died twice, and we bounced to an abrupt stop, he decided that was enough for today. I actually understand it though, so now I just need to practice!
Nothing too exciting has happened recently. I had my day off and was supposed to go to the sea with friends. We ended up canceling because it was super cloudy that day. Instead, I found a beautiful running trail that weaves through acres of olive trees. The road is skinny with a stone wall on both sides. The cliffs are on my left, and in the distance there are colorful, tiny houses. I wake up before work every morning to run or walk on this street. It is so relaxing and inspiring!
I had fish for dinner tonight. They handed me a plate with a full fish on it...I am talking a head with eyes and skin! I just looked at them for a second until they offered to prepare it for me better. Besides that, the days have been pretty similar. I work, eat and sleep. It is slowly getting hotter and hotter outside. The Rena family will be moving to their house on the sea in the next month!
Well I am off to bed! I fall asleep watching "The Notebook" every night. It is the only thing my roommate has in English. I already read all my books this week and streaming TV shows online doesn't work in Italy. If anyone feels nice and wants to send me some book and movies..I will not complain! Miss you all
