Last night we hosted our first BBQ at the Fourteen Lions.  When you put great food, great company, and the fact your in Italy in the equation your in for a pretty good time.  Along with a lot of laughs we were also able to have some very meaningful conversations with a few students.  Our goal for this outreach was to introduce ourselves and let everyone know why we are here.  We also tried to show off a little bit of our Italian which went well for some and not so well for the others (me). Apparently being from MS and having an accent doesn’t translate very well when trying to speak Italian.

Yesterday on the bus an Italian women asked me something in Italian, and I got confused and told her in Italian that I didn’t speak English. I didn’t even realize it until I got off the bus and Mario told me that the Italians on the bus were confused because they thought I was American, knew I wasn’t Italian, and was telling her I didn’t speak English.

Well that’s about it for now…Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend,

Tyler
