Yesterday my host mom, Ludovica, and I were driving home from school and the sun was setting and everything was gorgeous so I took pictures.
my favorite
We drove through the same country roads as last time. I forgot to mention but the street is just wide enough for one car. And it's not a one way street. So you have to go really slowly and if another car comes, you have to find a way to make it work. The street is also crazy steep and windy. Very scary.
While we're on the subject of driving....
My host father is the most careful, coordinated, fastest driver I've ever met. It doesn't matter whether we leave for school at a 7:45 or 7:56, he gets us there at 8:00 am and not a minute past. We usually go about 100 km/h. It's a little nerve racking in the morning, but I've gotten used to it. There are also several speed bumps on the way to school that we always cruise over gently. It's fantastic, I don't know how he does it. If I ever need a getaway car driver and Ryan Gosling is unavailable, I know who to call.
Lastly, today the plan was for me to come home at 1:30 after school by bus. Unfortunately, the bus driver to Porto San Giorgio was on strike. My host mother had to prepare lunch and then go to a meeting at 3. When I called her, she didn't know what time her meeting would be over so I ended up hanging out at school until 5:30.. just chillin' with the bar staff. Sigh. It's ok. I ate hot dog and gratefully accepted sympathy chocolate from a cleaning lady. It's all part of the adventure.
