Oh Monday

Today was a quiet Monday.  This morning Gregorio and I had our English lesson because he stalled for so long, we had some of it in the car as I was driving us to his grandmother's house for lunch.  Yes, I am driving here in Italy.  I had some practice last year, and I will just tell you that Gregorio thinks I am an awesome driver.

After lunch we returned home for a quiet afternoon.  We all did our own things.  Late afternoon Gregorio asked to get a butterfly net, and his mom needed things from the grocery store.  With that being said, Gregorio and I had ourselves a little trip to Porto Potenza Picena.  We stopped and got a butterfly net from a beach store, and we stopped at the super market for a few items.  I followed the list, but Gregorio helped me navigate the store.

When I got home, Michela was working and asked Alfredo to cook dinner.  That didn't work, so somehow I got put in charge of that task.  Let's just say that the Italians will never let me cook for them again.  I made frittata.  How could I go wrong?  I have no idea.  I make it all the time at home, and it has never come out as terrible as it did tonight.  The family were real troopers, but I was extremely embarrassed for myself.  And no.  No, I will not be posting pictures of the dinner.

After dinner, Michela had another task for me.  She wanted to put her home on a swapping website.  Similar to the movie, "The Holiday," you advertise your home online.  You try to swap with another family in an area that you are interested in going.  I helped Michela by writing the home's information in English and teaching her how to upload photos using iPhoto.  After hours of understanding iPhoto in Italian and explaining to her what the website was saying in English, the advertisement for her home came out perfectly.  So, if you are interested in coming to my beautiful summer home, then here is your chance.  Here is the link to the website  LOVE HOME SWAP

There you have it.  My quiet Monday.  Now let's see what Tuesday has in store!
