It's already Friday?!

Hello everyone!
Italy is lovely. The weather has been pretty nice so far. We've had a couple small, short rain showers and some clouds, but overall not too hot, not too cold.

Teaching Andy is going well. We still play a lot of card games and wii, but we've also started playing ping-pong and 20 questions. I'm also going through the house, room by room, to help him work on his vocab. He seems to be enjoying it so life is good. :) And he's also reading an English Goosebumps book.

I'm teaching Andy 6 days a week and yesterday was my day off. The Seppi's live in a small village outside of Bolzano so yesterday I met Paul and some of his friends at a nice little cafe in the city. After lunch, I took the train back to his house and went on a bike ride on a path near the river; the path was lined with the most amazing scenery. This part of Italy produces a lot of wine and tons of apples. Everywhere you look there are apples and grapes growing and a lot of people who live in this region are farmers.

Tonight for dinner we had bbq chicken which was a real treat for the family and a taste of home for me. And this beautiful picture was taken from their terrace a couple hours after dinner. Goodnight!
