So...I have a lot to write about since last time...Bear with me here. :)
First of all I wanted to show you that I am in fact teaching Mattia "The Face". He's getting pretty good I might add, and its only been a week. I'll have to start teaching all the cousins pretty soon.
I had my first trip to the grocery store yesterday. Honestly I was suprised to see how similar it was in comparison to home. Everything is WAAAY cheaper though. Like ridiculously cheaper. You can get a loaf of bread for like 1 Euro = $1.50 at home. I was surprised to see though that you had to pay in order to unlock your cart from the little cart holder place. When you walked in there was a whole wall of cheese. Dinner and lunch consists of bread and cheese EVERY night. I don't mind that all because I love both of those. You had to get a number and wait in line in order to get service at the deli, just like at home. I did notice that people did not have an idea of personal space. They would just butt in and go wherever. If you didn't, you would not get the item you were looking for.
The coffee aisle did not have any actual real coffee. It was mostly all espresso. There was no Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Chock-full-of-nuts, Folgers, etc. That was disappointing. Everything else was pretty normal...so I guess it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. Oh well...:( 
There are other shops around though. They have the butcheria, paneteria, bakeria, etc. The other day Simona and I went to the paneteria to get bread and she didn't have any money. But since its such a small town, the lady let her come back and pay later. Simona ended up having to back three times to pay because first she didn't have any money, secondly her 50 euro bill was too big and they couldn't make change, and then the third time they finally accepted her money! Haha! How weird is that? I probably would've given up on try #2. It was only Euro 3,80. Come now! :)
