Day 3

Ciao!! Today was day three of our mission. We went with Paul to the supermarket and learned how to shop. We learned that you dont touch the fruit or veggies without putting a glove on your hand, pretty smart idea...catch up America!! While in line there was an older couple behind us, they started asking us to move outta the way so they could move further up in the line, but the place was so packed andwe were sandwiched in between people that there was no where for us to go. Once we checked out the cashier had ran out of change and we had to wait for Paul t get his change. The older man that was in the line behind us checked out, then the man after him. In Italiano supermarkets there are dividers where two customers can bag their grocries at one time, to speed the process along. Well the man behind us and the one behind him were both bagging groceries when the one behind us started yelling at the other one to move outta his way. The guy was doing nothing wrong, poor guy, but they had their hands going and everything = our first Italian heated argument. We then went to Paul and McKenzie's house to eat lunch = pasta with mozzerella (which comes fresh, which means the cheese is in water when you buy it) and tomatoes. We then took the train back to Montesanto to meet Grace. Grace took us down to the piers and we walked around down there, had the best heart to heart talk and saw the most besutiful of architechure, including a theater and the Brandi (the place where the first real pizza was made---wanna know te history behind the name of the first pizza ask me! We then went to the Worthy (missionary) house and hung out witht the kids and helped a little with preperations for the Tennessee team. We ate supper there = salad and Spanish tortillas. We then went to get gelato and I ordered my own in ITALIANO! i was very proud of myself! We are now back at the apartment, getting ready for bed!


Ciao!

  2. Good to see you on Skype briefly yesterday. I think that was you. Wow, 3 days and ordering in Italian! Does that mean you used your hands like Itilians and pointed to what you wanted? Ha,ha, keep up the language practice and studies, that will help big time in days to come.
