There is a lot I have learned these last couple of days, I thought I would share my knowledge.

1) Fake nails are weird in Italy
2) Portions are large but people still manage to stay fairly skinny
3) No matter how gaudy and weird italians dress, their taste in clothes is eternally better than mine
4) Most doors are meant to be pushed but us americans love to pull doors
5) You cannot find a tall glass in italy, everything is small
6) If you have no clue what someone is saying, smiling and saying "Si" is your best bet
7) Don't expect to sleep past 7 because happy loud italians are always going to be outside your door
8) You can get wine for 1.25
9) Italian people will always think youre weird and silly no matter how much you try to adjust to the culture and become more italian
10) Italian men wear tight pants but they arent considered emo

So it has been an interesting experience. We had to get a new lock on our door last night because a part of my key broke off in the door. We are going to the chocolate factory early in february. You can smell chocolate and pizza every morning from my apartment. There are so many dogs and they are all small and cute. I want one. I saw a little westie today. They dress their dogs like crazy.

Today we went to the market, i didnt find anything good but they sure had a variety. it was like the dollar store but better. Love you and miss you.

Ciao.
