Ciao Venice

So I finally know where my life will be for the week, Venice. Specifically a place called Bassano del Grappa. I will be teaching with just two other tutors at a small camp of 30 kids. chill. I am staying with a host family who have three little girls. crazy but dang cuties. Its so interestingto see my surroundings. Italian culture is so lovely. Ive met some amazing people from all around the worls through the camp organization and through people i meet on the street.

I start teaching tomorrow so im nervous but excitedat the same time. Youknow me, loving the new and vaguely stressful atmosphere. but literally Im so stoked to be here. This is a one week camp so I dont know where Ill be next week until thursday, we kind of live by the seams of our pants..i think thats correct.

My bday is this friday, so its weird not being at home with peeps, but I have a feeling it will def. be an original day. at our camps we also prepare our kids for a final show..a play type thing they put on the last day of camp for their family and friends (this happens to land on mybday) so im so stoked to see how that turns out and how much an 8 year old can remember. ha.

food is good and overly given so I will probably walk back home from italy. the language is amazing and I hate myself for being a spanish ish speaker, but im trying, and living here for a week might help since little Linka speaks to me in Italian only and doesnt realize i onlyspeak english.

Im off to mass with the fam, and then lunch at the dads (luciano) moms house. I will do my best to keep you darlings posted. thanks for the thoughts and prayers!

all my amore,
T
