Early mornings in Italy

I find it funny that I feel like I woke up too early this morning when I got up at 10:30 am. I am currently the only one awake in the apartment and it's noon. Oh well, either we're all still jetlagged or no one is getting enough sleep during the week, which could be the case because they all stay up so they can talk to people from the states when they get home from work...which turns out to be around 1 am here.

We had a very long day of shopping yesterday. We learned very quickly that everyone goes shopping on Saturday afternoons and to never try that one again. I am still in search of the boots I want to invest in. Big feet seem to really be a problem here. Today we have plans to make eggs and bacon, very american i know but it's difficult to cook for yourself sometimes, and then go to the park and do homework. Caroline and I have found a great route to run/walk. It takes us straight from our house to the Giardini Pubblici. Its a little snowy/muddy now but in the spring it's going to be beautiful.

This weekend we have ventured so far as to order taxis by ourselves and even figure out how and where to go out on a Friday night. Overall I feel like it has been a very successful weekend. More to come on how my Italian classes go, should be interesting. We are hoping to go see Swan Lake at La Scala soon. Right now our goal is going to La Scala or some performance at least twice a month. We'll see how it goes. I have a feeling that combined with our many hopes of traveling is going to make life rather busy soon.

I'm thinking about buying either Twilight or Harry Potter in Italian to get some better vocabulary flowing. It seemed to help when I was in Spain and seeing as we don't have a tv I need something to do for a break in the evenings.

I'm off to continue waiting for the girls to wake up.
