Ho ancora vivo!

Long time no see ragazzi! I'm not so good with updates in Perugia, that's for sure. But I doubt anyone is interested to hear what I eat for dinner every day and what shoes I had on; everyone except for my mum that is :) Love you mum, don't be so worried now!

Anyways, life in Perugia is nice but have been a bit cold lately. Maybe because its so high over sea level or something like that... Any takers?
Today it is much better so I spend my time sitting in the sun! This day is a good day and the only thing that would make it better was if I had amnesia! Only then would I not remember that I busted my camera on domenica... Sadly and luckily I don't have amnesia so I am very aware of the situation; my camera died l'altro ieri... My loyal squire through many years finally found peace on a bench in Viareggio a sunny noon. Time of death 11.47 the 22th of February. RIP friend, you have been here for some of my greatest moments the last 6 years! I am happy that it was sunny Italy I took you for our last moments together. This is his last picture........... not to good ah? He was tired!

Enough of that now! Because I want to tell you all about my weekend, which was not spent in Perugia. Me, and two girls from Austria went by car across Toscana on sabato è domanica. Steffi (not my flatmate but another one) car took us from Perugia to Siena to Lucca to Viareggio. Siena I came to remember from when I was there as a bambina, an adorable mountain town where they have a famous horse race in the summer and tasty ice cream! After some hours looking at this and that we went to Lucca which I also now remember for a trip with my family. Here we spent the night an absorbed the Italian culture, wine and food. Lucca is a special town with huge impressing town walls on which we walked. Everyone should have a look at this place if in Italy. But for now you should google it. One - due - tre - google!!!

...........................................

Are you done already? Sure? Okey, then lets continue then. On Sunday we went to Viareggio for a big carnival parade. This was a one of a kind experience which I'm glad I got to be a part of. What I found the most amazing is how the people dress up. Whole families dress up in different or alike costumes and there was tigers and dogs and clowns everywhere. Also it a quite funny sight to see a rabbit at the mini bank or a devil in line at a restaurant :) I will post pictures of this eventually but for now... Google, perche camera e capot, or something like that!

Tomorrow is my final test in Italian so now I'm on my way home to study:)

Ååååh! Roadtrip i Toscana! Høres heeeeelt greit ut, spør du meg. Schnæksne karnevalsbilder også.

Hos meg skjer det ingenting. Virkelig ingenting. Ihvertfall ikke nå. Leser, lager mat, vasker opp. Og slik går dagene.

Stor klem Janne

Lykke til med italiensk-prøve i morgen. Det var på høy tid med oppdatering - dine foreldre har jo ikke sovet siden 13. februar! Vil gjerne høre mere om karneval - Valperaggio-karneval skal være noe av det frakkeste i Italia! Så på yr.no - knall værmelding for Roma i helga - men litt regn til uka igjen. Tenker på deg.....

Finalmente, un segno di vita!

Jøss, foreldre som ikke sover? Kanskje rette vegen for "bekymringsmeldingene" er nordover?

Stai bene.
