What I Know so Far

I decided to do a blog so that my friends and family can follow what I am doing in Italy for 7 weeks. I am going to post on this blog and on Facebook. I will do my best to capture what I am doing with words and pictures.

As many of you may know, I am going to Italy in May. My tentative date to leave is May 15. I will fly into Venice and the family I am staying with lives in Padova. I have been in communication with the family that I will be staying with. The mom's name is Cristina, not sure the dads name. They have 2 children, Frederico and Cecila(the little girl name is so cute). The kids are 5 and 3

She sent me an email today telling me the dates are perfect for me to come over. I haven't asked her what I will be doing specifically during the week but I am thinking I will be watching the kids during the week while the parents are at work. She has told me I will learn about their school. And entertain them with the swimming pool, park. On the weekends she says they travel to the mountains and beach, so that is really exciting.

I know I still have a few months until I leave but I just wanted to keep everyone updated.

Thank you for all the support!
