A New (and better) day

It is currently early afternoon (the computer I'm working on is 'home' time so I don't know exactly what time it is here. XD) and I'm in Lucca, Italy. It's a beautiful city with cool old walls.
Right now I'm sitting in the office of the cooking school we are working at, listening to the sound of knives and laughter and smelling lamb cooking and spices.
Oh, I wish you all could be here. It's so nice and warm, but less muggy in Lucca then it is by our hotel.

I have lots of pictures to upload, but sadly I'm working on the team (group) leaders laptop trying to get a report done. It was very nice of him while I look for an Apple store.
I'm currently hoping I can call the store in Roma and have them express ship me the charger so that I can have my lovely computer back.
I do miss it.

But, for now, I'm happy with what I have.

I've found out that it is proving very difficult not to just leave you guys all in America and pull a 'Under the Tuscan Sun' moment and move here. It is honestly the most beautiful place I've been to in a while. The weather is actually bearable, and we are living like many people. Wake up early, do stuff until about 12 or 1 and then it is rest time till 5.
Even all the shops close at 1 and open back at 5.

We have a lovely bar across the street from our hotel that has become the place to hang out. I guess the drinks there are wonderful and the girl is just a sweetheart, she is teaching us Italian and practicing her English.
Also! Potatoe chips and peanuts are served here like chips and salsa in Mexico.

It is an everyday thing.

I do miss you ALL! I'm gonna be sad to leave here but I plan on returning, perhaps moving here one day. I would love to live in many different places and see a lot of the world.

But for now, I say goodbye.
And when I come back, don't hate me when I answer things in Italian. XD.
Or describe things as primi (first).

XD
I hope the weather is good at home. I MISS YOU ALL!
