PEANUT BUTTER UPDATE
Yesterday, like 3 seconds after I blogged about the peanut butter stigma, my host mom announced something came in the mail for me. It was two individually packaged serving sizes of PEANUT BUTTER from my mom. I was so surprised/elated/grateful. Thanks Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you.
In America I washed my hair everyday. Every single day. If I didn't, it'd get greasy and ugly. When I arrived in Italy, Ludovica was shocked by this. Italians - Europeans in general - don't wash their hair everyday. She insisted I skip at least one day. The first two weeks were really difficult. Eventually my hair adapted and stopped producing so much oil. Six weeks later and it's a lot prettier/blonder/lighter. I know. I didn't think my hair could get any better, either. But yeah I strongly recommend this every other day business.
TRAVEL QUOTES THAT I LOVE
“A wise traveler never despises his own country.” – Carlo Goldoni
“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things – air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky – all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” – Cesare Pavese
“A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.” – John Steinbeck
“When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.” – Clifton Fadiman
“Travel is glamorous only in retrospect.” – Paul Theroux
“It is solved by walking.” – Algerian proverb
“What am I doing here?” – Arthur Rimbaud, writing home from Ethiopia
