La Famiglia Italiana

Today my Mamma left to go to London, and visit our dear friends, James and Natasha.
So, this means that I am now alone. But not really.

Today I commenced my stay with Chiara and Davide, at their home in Volpago. It is a cute, little, peaceful town, one hour away from Venice. Here, I will stay until the end of Maggio. Davide non parla inglese, so that means that I need to get on top of my Italian! It will be great living with them Chiara has planned many weekend trips to places around the Veneto.

Chiara and Davide both work during the day, and so I will spend my days doing anything I want. Today I only spent 3 hours alone, and in those three hours I discovered MTV... in Italian. As mush as I dislike The Hills and the concept of that whole show, I watched Jersey Shores, and will probably watched it tomorrow (it is on at 3pm).

Davide also told me that there is a swimming pool in Montebelluna, so there is another thing that I can do. Essentially, I may return to Australia as a triatlete. because running, swimming and cycling (I have una bici to ride) can take up a proportionate part of my day.

It is really nice to be able to relax here. The first week was full of travelling and trying to see as much as possible of the cities that we went to. Now, I have three weeks of no plans. And it is quite nice.
