Camp has been going well so far!! I have 10 kids in my group, ages 10-11. It's definitely a lot different than last year as I feel some of these kids know very minimal english. I am def speaking a lot more italian at camp and at home that I am used to!! Conjugating verbs and that damn trilled 'r' is still hard for me but i am kind of getting the hang of it!! Class has been alright and mini olympics are awesome even though my team (american tigers) is in last place! The other tutors are all pretty cool too!!
My host family is pretty amazing...all the other tutors are very jealous!! I am the only tutor in the actual town of scauri, 30 seconds from the beach and i have my own flat above their apartment. It's pretty sick.
Today we took a field trip to these 5 volcanic pools. Each pool has different minerals and temperatures, etc. It was very cool but when we got there, it reeked of sulfur. So bad i almost thought I was going to throw up!! We got used to it though, thank god. The pools were pretty and I got thrown in twice (which reminded me of camp p) and it was a pretty great experience. Right now i should be working on my show but ah well we will wing it! My class is going to be three nba basketball players and cheerleaders. In italia, they all love kobe and the lakers!! None of them would be KG or Ray for me, lol.
It looks like I may not be going to Roseto but I am going to try to figure something out to visit after this camp is over. This weekend, the other tutors and I are going to go to Naples and Pompeii (and hopefully hike vesuvius). We may try to hit up sorrento, the amalfi coast or capri too but I don't know yet. I can't wait though.
Alright, sono stacissima.
Buona Notte!
Lauren :)
