2nd week :)

Here we are at the half way point and it feels like only yesterday that mom dad and mike dropped me off at JFK. Time flies quicker in Italy than the US, proven fact.

No one wants to go home yet, (we'll all miss our gelatos terribly) but I've realized there's something else I miss terribly while I'm here: dance. I miss my classes and performances, especially after Monday night when Abbey Road had the privilege of seeing the Rome Ballet perform in Florence. The dancers were beyond beautiful, not to mention their incredible physique, technicality and performance qualities! The ballet performed a number of dances, from classic partnering to a dynamic tango themed group number. It was a fantastic night for everyone!

Now that its the second week, everyone seems a little more used to the Italian lifestyle. We've all adapted to the lack of a dryer, dishwasher, air conditioning....(okay maybe not lack of air conditioning on the hottest day of the summer) but for the most part we've all adjusted pretty well! Forza Italia!
