Oct. 21, 2004 Busca

Early Morning

Vera is so cute! I love her! I actually feel like speaking/writing in Italian now...

I think I have already had the true Italian experience in just 24 hours!

After a big dinner last night I slept till 10 and put on my robe (like Vera told to do) and came up for coffee. She made it on the stove and put a plate full of morning cookies (biscuits they say?) and gave me fresh honey from her neighbor. Everything is natural here I love it! It gives me perspective on how fake America is. The air is so clean between the mountains and the sea.



So Vera and I had a funny but intimidating conversation. She told me "you look sooooo young!"... "like a baby" afterwards she gave me her vest. Anyway, she told me to make sure I don't show my stomach, I need to look older and be professional. She asked me if I was familiar with business because I would be teaching adults important conversational business English. Then on Tuesday I will teach men through a British program that always uses Vera! So I must learn a different method and speak to the British Director on Monday. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it! Then I got ready for my day with Roberta, got ready (learned to take quick hot showers!) and came upstairs. Then Vera said my hair was still wet and led me to her bathroom and blow dried my hair for me! She is so accomodating and always just wants to make sure I am fine......
