Fondi

Today we got up, and packed our stuff and loaded it into, or should i say, onto, Davide's little car to drive to our home for the next 9 months, Fondi!

We spent about an hour trying to figure out a way to tie our large bags to the top of Davide's car. We came up with a way, but Lynnea and I were convinced that we would see one of our bags go flying by our windows while we were driving down the highway. We were preparing ourselves to go shopping for a new wardrobe.

After that, we drove about 2 hours south of Rome to a town called Fondi, on the way we stopped at a camp ground to meet our other coach, and Sport Director. We then drove to a restaurant, which was on the beach, to meet the two owners, and have lunch with them. Once again, this lunch consisted of large amounts of food, and Lynnea and I are wondering to ourselves how they expect us to stay skinny...haha. The town we are staying in is about 10 minutes away from the Tyrrhenian Sea, has 3 lakes and is surrounded by a Mountain Range, I'm pretty sure it doesn't get better then this!

On our way into Fondi after lunch, we stopped at our club owners Market, and loaded up on some fish, fruit and veggies so we could cook in our apartment! We met everyone who worked there, so they know who we are whenever we go in! After we got our food, we headed to our new apartment.

This apartment we are in, we will be living in for about 3 weeks, because our real apartment is still being used for summer vacation. So once that is ready for us, we will be moving, one last time. The apartment we are in right now is pretty nice, it is one room and bed, so Lynnea and i have to share a bed, but not in the other one. We have a bathroom, a nice kitchen and a random room for storage. Every room is furnished. So this is my home for the next 3 or so weeks.
