Milano Centrale
So, the previous post was posted just a few moments before this one, but I actually wrote it on the way to Ireland.
I haven't started work yet. Rachel and I have to be there tomorrow (Saturday) morning. So, we've just been hanging out and getting lost in downtown Milan. Just like the Spanish, Italians take a siesta during the middle of the day, and Rachel and I forgot about it. So, we went in to this pizzeria at around 2p.m. and an older man was very pissed off that we did so. It was pretty good pizza though.
Laura, the woman with which I am living, has a husband, John, who was born and raised in Canada. They have a son, Davide (Dah-vee-day) who is 10 and loves futbol. They also have a young daughter named Gloria who 8 and adorable. They don't know very much English, which is frustrating because I have no way of communicating with them, which I believe would be a ton of fun.
I ended up being a lot more jet-lagged than I expected, and am still very tired all the time. The kids get up at 8 for school and usually I hear them but not because they are loud. Then, I can't go back to sleep. Sooner or later I will be waking up with them.
Rachel and I are planning a trip to Venice next weekend which should be very exciting! Keep checking back for more updates. I couldn't post right away because blogger was having some issues.
Ciao!
