This week flew by! I guess it was nice to get over the whole ordeal of taking finals, moving out, flying to Rome, working and jet lag phase. Plus, I was able start my real work, rather than getting oriented with my internship (which was pretty much all of last week). I have started to meet most of the interns too. They are all very interesting and from different parts of the world (America, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, etc.). Anyways, this weekend has been really relaxing! Friday night, Chris, Franco, and I went to a local restaurant in Morlupo (their town) for a pizza, to celebrate Chris finishing the school year (teaching). I also found out that their town (Morlupo) is 2400 years old! Saturday morning, I had to return my rental car... :( It was sad to see the "Bravo" go...we had a good run. Monday, I start taking the train into work, so we will see how that goes! This weekend has been full of "putzing" and getting ready for next week. I have been helping in the garden to trim bushes and picking weeds--I guess I have to earn my keep :) The weather is finally starting to be what I expected (in regards to an Italian summer)--it is 28 (x 1.8 + 32= 82.4 fahrenheit) degrees in the shade! Oh, and the best for last.... Italy plays Spain tonight in the Euro 2008 cup. It should be a good match and "football" is addicting! Well, thats about all I have for now. Take care!
P.S. Today, when I was going on errands with Chris, and taking her car for a test drive, I was trying to find a parking spot at one of the local supermarkets (diPerdi). Anyways, I saw a Ferrari coming in the opposite direction and we both want the same spot...so being the forceful driver (safe, but forceful) I took the parking spot (but it wasn't a "jerk" move, by the way). I thought it was pretty funny, because well, the owner had to park his car across the street. Bad story?

No more driving with the crazy romans? I guess that's not a bad thing. Hope all is well.
Hey Scott, It's great reading your blog. I almost feel I am there. Be careful and talk with you soon.
