St. Daniele Festival.

This week has been the St. Daniele Festival, here in Belvedere. It's been so much fun. Today is the last day of it. This last week I've had fireworks out my window twice, and heard them 4 times. It's been really fun dressing up, going out. I've spent more money than I should have. But I have about half of my gifts for people now, so that's good. :) I also found out that I am switching host families sometime in December. I have met my other host family though, and I like them, so I think it will be a good opportunity to experience different types of Italian households. Sometime next spring I will be moving back in with my current family again. :) I love it here, and I'm finally getting use to the language. I can understand almost everything in conversations, but I never know how to respond. I don't know how to piece together sentences yet. I guess that will all come in time.
