So a lot has happened these past few. I celebrated my first Halloween away from home. It was strange because they celebrate Halloween here, but they don't do any of the fun things Halloween is about. They don't dress up, no body gives out candy, and hardly anyone carves pumpkins. Basically all the do is go to the discos and party. Since I'm not aloud to go out during the night, my host family took me to a nearby town named Marostica. There, We got to go inside the castle that is usually closed.
The front view of il castello inferiore!
A bunch of fake people playing chess. I thought they were interesting.
The view of the life size chess board from the watch tower. People still play with it!
More fake people!
The view of the town and castle from il castello superiore!
The next day my family left for Milan and I had to stay with my second host family. I was supposed to go to Verona with all the other exchange students, but my host mom said it was too late notice so I just stayed in town and spent the holiday weekend catching up on TV shows I've been missing and some movies in Italian. Oh! I also cut off about 10 inches from my hair the day before Halloween and I received 2 care packages from home!
