gnocchi con pesto
cooking with Beniamino

wearing scarfs and boots

drinking cappuccino di orzo

day trips with amazing friends

beinamino's specialty zuppa di funghi

fresh mozzarella with tomatoes and olive oil

riding the vaporetto's in venice and getting lost

gelato - especially the combination of lemon and strawberry

doing "gymnastics" in italian class, with my fav italian teacher, enzo
writing postcards, licking stamps, and putting them in the mail drop box
the fact that there are no side walks - moving out of the way for cars to pass
eating "mystery meat" at dinner with Bev, grinning, and just getting through it
having long phone calls with my parents, telling them all of my wonderful adventures
having moments where a sentence just flows in italian, when i dont have to think about it
going to church and not understanding half of what is being said, but still feeling the spirit

delicious hot chocolate from the vending machine at the DA, on a really cold day
searching for chestnuts in the forest, with the leaves changing colors

having dance parties in our apartment with Giuseppe and Anna

sunday lunch as a group at the talbots, and fhe monday nights
going to the mercato on wednesday mornings before class

cobble stone streets and brightly painted buildings

watching how italians interact with each other

being around my family, just in general

reading the book of mormon in italian

eating riccarelli and paneforte
ceramic shops
