gelato!

The gelato here is so amazing! This picture shows just how great it is. They always have it fresh along with fresh fruit of the flavor on top! Today I also had pesto, which apparently was born here. It was amazing! and the olives are soooo good! I love how everything is sold fresh in little hole in the wall markets. Another cultural difference I noticed was that they still use skeleton keys for locking/unlocking doors. In addition, the beds and pillows are hard as a rock! I think my family keeps up to date because one of the girl's boyfriends was playing the wii hahaha. So far the only stores here from home are Game Stop, Blockbuster, FootLocker, and McDonalds. There is also a brand new sushi and mexican place here which the locals say are good. But you never know, they don't probably know what REAL mexican food is like haha. Tomorrow we leave for a school trip to Florence, but we have decided to stay all weekend and also go Pisa. I'm so excited to finally start traveling!
