two weeks!

DAY 14 : 28 November 2014

Well,

It's exactly two weeks today that I left little old Nowra to come to this beautiful country, and it's still so surreal - I can't believe I'm actually here! 

School is average really, it's good to have the experience in attending their school, but as it's all in italian, as well as learning Latin and Greek it is definitely not the most exciting 6 days of my week! 

I'm starting to be able to catch the bus alone more often, which means I have more opportunities to go out and explore the city, and as we go from autumn into winter all the trees are becoming bare, and it is certainly cooling down... we even have snow forecast for the second week of December!! 

This week, I spent a few days at school, and a few days helping Francesca in her bridal shop, as well as learning some more italian from her! Definitely beats school! 

This is a photo of me helping her change the window display...

So, as I don't have any exciting stories to share, I thought I might give you a glimpse of the little home I've been living in for the last two weeks - a second floor apartment about a 5 minute bus ride or 10 minute walk from the centre of town!

The inside...

Hallway

(my room is first left, study is second left, Francesca and Dario's room is 3rd left and Allegra's is on the far right)

Kitchen

Lounge

My room and bathroom

The balcony/terrace...

So this is their little home in Udine, and they also own another home in the mountains in Pontebba about an hour's drive that is apparently very big (and snowy)!

and, I can't forget to mention their absolutely adorable little cat Miki! 

That's all I have for now! With one more day of school left (school on a Saturday certainly takes some getting used to), I've got a free day on Sunday, where I may meet up with my Australian friends again.

Love,

Jen
