We are still in Roma, and Lynnea and I were taken to see The Vatican City and the spanish stairs. After we woke up we were cooked another authentic Italian meal, and then we went to pick up Fiorella's cousin who came to visit from Milan because it is Fiorella's birthday. He can speak 5 or 6 languages and was very helpful with the translation between us and Davide or Fiorella. From the bus station, we went right to the Spanish Stairs and continued to walk around Rome. We saw all of the name brand clothing stores, like Chanel, Bvgalri, Louis Vuitton, etc. After finding some very good gelato on the way back to the car, we made our way to The Vatican City. We did not go inside but we walked around the St. Peter's Square! After that we headed back to Fiorella's home to celebrate her birthday with her friends and family. We met many people, who spoke some english and we learned several more italian phrases, along with the masculine and feminine endings. I am starting to get it and it is only the 2nd day! Fiorella's sister who knows english says that we are very good at Italian and we will learn quickly, so I am super excited. At dinner we had steak along with some kind of sausage. It was very good, alot of food, again I found myself saying sono piena.
Tomorrow we are off to our new home, Fondi!!!! We are soooo excited and can not wait to meet the president, the manager and whoever else from the club we have to meet as well, and finally move in!
Italian word/phrase of the day: io ho capito "i understand" and io non ho capito "i don't understand"
