Tom Hanks!

So its not that I have forgotten about my blog, its just that nothing extremely exciting had happened in the past few days. BUTTT I got an A on my first Italian exam!! and it was really hard so I was really happy. Im about to go and take my 2nd one so I hope it goes well too. I have been doing a lot of writing lately, its one of those time where im really up in my head-but I like it sometimes. On Wed. afternoon I SAW TOM HANKS!! and Ron Howard and Dan Brown. They were filming Angels and Demons in the Piazza del Poppilo. It was really cool I was actually pretty star struck. it will be rally cool to see those scenes in the movie bc i was there when they were filming them! After that me and Lindsey went to eat dinner and to see a movie (in english)

Last night we went down to Il Piccolo Grande Chef (The restaurant right below our apt) and talked to our friend, Camillo. He talked to us ALL night long and was the cutest thing ever. he would bring out his big old dictionary to the table so that he could tell us things. he was trying to ask me what I was studying and I told him "below doctor" in italian bc i didnt know the word for nurse. and he asked me if i was going to be a "purse" haha! it was too cute! he told us that he was our Italian grandfather. And he was telling us about all of the people he has served in his FIFTY years in the restaurant business...Neil Armstrong, the Pope, Frank Sinatra, Eva Gardner, and the list went on. At one point he was talking about his wife but he kept referring to her as his "life" and I thought that was actually kind of profound. He didnt mean to say it like that, but it seems like that what it should be. 

Tomorrow we leave for Chinquiterra!!! it should be beautiful. Google it on the internet and you should be able to see some pictures and be jealous ;)

sorry for being so long-hope you all are well!
