Last weekend was my host mom's birthday. So I had brought presents with me from America to give away during my year here in Italy. After much consideration I decided to give a cutting board in the shape of Indiana. I thought this would be a good gift because she is always cooking! So I went to the Centro, which has become a regular thing since that is where the library is. As I wandered through the streets I searched for a store to buy things to wrap the present. After about an hour and a half I gave up y search and returned home frustrated. Sometimes I wish they had Wal-Mart here, it would make it so much easier to know where to buy things. So I went to my room and started looking for something I could wrap it with. I found and old shopping bag and some paper and got creative. In the end I thought the present looked pretty good.
So later that night there was a party at my house. It started at 9:30 and didn't end till 1 or 2 in the morning. All the host moms friends came and ate cake and sweets and drank a lot and celebrated. I ended up going to bed at about midnight though. The next night there was another party with just family.
