Amica

Amica = Friend. Tonight I went to the city center and hung out with Samantha and her two friends Carmen and Rita. They didn't speak English but could understand me most of the time and I could understand them most of the time. Sammy did a lot of translating :-) It was SO fun, though. We went shopping, and the girls would make fun of people's outfits and talk about hot guys, hahaha... I guess that doesn't change between cultures! I also discovered that I am an Italian "redneck"... I guess Italians in the south speak a dialect, not the "formal" Italian that the Tuscans speak, and they are poorer (All the fashion comes from Rome and North of Rome), and I guess my name is an Italian redneck name! haha. But it was ok, because all 3 girls were also from the south. Haha. It was awesome to hang out with friends for a night - and I'm really excited about really getting involved in some things and traveling pretty soon here, so YAY! Well, it's past midnight so I'm gonna go to bed, but I still miss you all! :-)
