Parents Arrive!

Me and My Madre

our great meal we made..

Amalfi Coast


Parents Arrive- Day 64- Thursday March 11th 2010

So today my parents are coming over! I planned a huge dinner for them.. I invited my roommates of course, Collin, Melanie, Jackie, Ashleigh, Cassie, and Jen. I went to the market today after Sketching and Drawing and got 4 chicken breasts for 11 euros. I also got vino and bread as well. I left studio early with Bryce to go to SWAN to work out and then to Coop to get a whole basket full of groceries for our feast tonight. We are going to have chicken parmesan, garlic bread, pasta, and snacks. I got Peroni for my dad and red wine for my mom. I bought my parents a bottle of Chianti as well. After we walked all the way back from Coop (its pretty far) and my shoulders were killing me- I took a shower and did some cleaning before I headed over to my parents hotel by the train station to pick them up. They showed me their room and gave me a bag of goodies from the U.S.A.!!! I got 2 boxes of cinnamon toast crunch, black dress shoes, girl scout cookies, the newspaper in English, Bryce got cliff bars, peanut butter, a red shirt from home, and Melanie got an ace bandage for her ankle. After we talked a little we headed over to my place where we surprised them with a feast and a welcoming in Florence from all my friends! They were really happy that we made dinner for them! They stayed over for a couple hours before they headed back to their apartment. A couple of us stayed over and drank vino before heading to sleep. It was a good moment in the semester so far- I don’t think I went so long without seeing my parents in my life! I really am starting to miss home… but there are certain things about Italy I love.. I cant quite pinpoint exactly what it is.. im sure ill realize it when I go back home.
