My family!

The first time I met my family was in the airport in Catania, when everyone came to pick us up.  Everybodies family was their, so it was really crowded, and took a long time to get out.  But it was nice to finally meet them, and they had a sign with my name on it, which was nice.

We went home, and we had the first Italian dinner, which was really good!  But of course, I never felt hungry until after about 2 weeks because of the jet lag. The next day, we went out to my city Misterbianco, and we got the bus ticket, and money and things like that.  We also just walked around so I could see what the city was like.  The first thing I noticed was the really small cars and also the really small streets.  You have to be careful when you walk!

The next day we went to Catania, which is the big city close to Misterbianco, and I thought that it was HUGE! But after looking at the map, its not as big as I thought it was..  But it was really Italian, and I was surprised by how much english there was in the city.  We got my SIM and met friends of Letizia. 

It was a little bit scary at first to hear everyone speaking Italian so fast, but now I think that they were really actually trying to speak slow for me!  But at this point I didnt know any Italian except for the very basics.  I was still really tired at random times, and never hungry when I should've been!
