Dear Mom,
Once upon I time, I thought Italian was a difficult language to learn. And then Zuzanna showed up. Oh my heavens to Betsy goodness gracious Polish is impossible! I spent a whole week with a headache just from listening to the Polish kids talk to each other. By the end of the week I learned how to say "Hello! How are you?" Actually I should say I learned how to spell it because it sounds nothing like it looks and my pronunciation is atrocious. It was interesting to meet the Polish kids and learn about their lives though. They speak English incredibly well, which sadly the Italians do not so I also spent the week listening to the Italian kids that were hosting them trying to muddle through conversations with their guests. It was a fun week, but quite tiring and I still don't feel ready to tackle the homework and lessons I missed at school. I did however finally get to see some snow! Our excursion to Etna was the first time I got to touch real snow in almost a year and to be honest I had missed it. I might have thrown a few snowballs, but that's just between me and you... The weather wasn't typical Sicilian "Island of the Sun" weather and I felt bad for the Polish kids because they were hoping to escape ugly weather, but we managed to see all the things we had planned on. We also went to Taormina and I got to see the Greek Theater again.
Speaking of homework a minute ago I really should get going so I can attempt to be prepared tomorrow, but I'll try to make up for the short letter with some pictures. They were taken with my phone so they aren't high quality, but they turned out pretty well. I'll put some better ones up when I get them off my real camera. Love you all and miss you bunches! Hope everyone is well!
Carolina
