HOST FAMILY!

This is a couple days late, but I just recieved the rest of my host family info yesterday, so I'm not *so* behind. Here it goes. I will be staying in Isernia, Italy, which is in the province of Isernia. It's in the southern part of the country, about an hour and a half south of Rome and an hour and a half north of Naples. It looks beautiful1!! I'll be staying in the old part of town, which was first settled 700,000 years ago. whew. I asked for somewhere with history and I got it! Both of my host parents (Oreste and Gaia) work in a law firm which makes up the first floor of their apartment. They have two younger daughters, Francesca and Maria, who are 6 and 8. I've just seen pictures of them and they are so cute :) I'll be going to Liceo linguistico "Vincenzo Cuoco", which is in the new part of town, but only a 10-15 minute walk from my apartment. They love to cook and they have a piano, which is really nice, and I might even motivate myself to play while I'm there. Right now I'm a bit overwhelmed, it seems so much more real, but I'm getting more excited and nervous as it gets closer. 48 days until I leave here for the strangest and most wonderful 10 months of my life.
