What were you grateful for this week? This week I was grateful for all the super cool people I have met since I’ve been here!

What was the most difficult or challenging part of this week?The mos difficult part of this week was finding time to do my homework for my summer classes, all I wanted to do was hang out with everyone! 

Tell us about a “wow” moment you had this week. A wow moment I had this week is when [my host family’s daughter] and I did each others makeup! It was so fun and she is so sweet! 

Tell us about your week! This week was crazy! My week started in Greece with A4 and we spent all of Monday wandering the streets of Athens! Athens is such a cool city and there is so much history, and it is all so close! We got to walk around the acropolis and all the other near by historical sites! We even got to go see where the first modern day Olympics was held, it was so cool! Athens was such a fun place to explore and I loved wandering around the streets in the plaka looking at all the shops and admiring the acropolis! 

Tuesday I headed home to Italy and I was so excited to see my host family! [My host family’s daughter] gave me the warmest welcome home and I was so happy to be back with my host family! Unfortunately I was only able to spend the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday with them this week because they left for Ibiza on Thursday, but they were such fun days! 

Since my family was gone this weekend A6 came and visited me this weekend and we went to Arona and explored the small cute streets that surround the lake, it was such a peaceful and relaxing day! Then the next day we headed into Milan where we saw the duomo, the castle, the arch of peace and then spend the rest of the day wandering around shopping! We also got to spend some time in a beautiful park! It was such a good weekend!
