Goldens.

Well I'm currently working on 2 blog entries, and hopefully, I can get them up within the next few days. But I figured I'd take a quick minute and write a bit. This past week was pretty good. The weather was beautiful for a few of the days (70+ and sunny). But the end of the week was slightly tainted with some homesickness. It's funny that even after almost 6 months here, I STILL get homesick. I got to talk with Mom, Dad, and Bryan today on skype, since Mom and Dad were down in North Carolina for parents weekend at Duke. They really enjoyed that. So I was super happy I got to talk to them-but it made me a little homesick. Then to top it all off, on my way home from the Bellas Artes Museum this afternoon, I see not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, but 6 golden retrievers within 10 minutes!! That is a bit ridiculous. I don't think I've ever seen that many golden retrievers in such a short timespan (except when Brandy was a puppy and we visited all of them--she was 1 of 11). It was quite comical and left me smiling.

This week we have 2 Italian girls staying with us who are 18. Amparo kept talking up how big Italian's appetites are, but tonight at dinner, they barely ate anything. Then after dinner, they went to the patio with a pack of cigarettes. It made Marli and I laugh, because they seem so young to be smoking--but in Europe, it seems like EVERYONE smokes. I have a feeling this week with them will filled with some interesting stories. All for now...going to finish up a little homework. And to excite you for my next blog entry...here is a picture. I will tell you what it is in my next entry!!!
