Well, I made it!! I have been here for two days and I absolutely love Sansepolcro! There is only one phrase too describe this place: out of a story book. When I stuck my head out of my room window for the first time, the view was breathtaking. You know that scene in Beauty and The Beast where Belle is walking down the street in the beginning of the movie? Yes, Imagine that. Although instead of Bonjour, it was Bonjourno! The hustle and bustle of the market, boutiques, and restraunts are below you, the houses are beautiful, and the food is to die for. Our trip has been pretty darn comedic so far...from giggles on the airplane, to arriving in the Rome airport, to nights out on the town.
The Italians are very quick to recognize us...blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. Need I say more? However, they have been very welcoming...a band actually started playing the Star Spangled Banner when we walked by. In all honesty, I have never wanted to be a brunette so bad in my life! The amount of attention is quite overwhelming.
Oh and another adjustment has been the shower situation: one towel, one week. Gah! This is coming from the girl who uses three washcloths a day!! I'm getting the hang of it though.
However, if blonde hair and washcloths have been my biggest worries, then I'm quite alright. There are many more things that could go wrong. Such as a waitress mistaking your order for a coke for the drug, coke. Yes, Jessie and I made that mistake. That's lesson 1 for Study Abroad. It's Coca-Cola.
