                                                           My first blog in Italy



    Wow! This is my first blog ever since i arrived to Italy ! There is only on word to describe my first month AMAZING . I live in a small city named Toscana its about 20-25 minutes from Florence . My experience has been amazing so far . Ive visited the tour of Pisa , Firenze (Florence) , and Lucca . All of these cities are amazing and so are all the people .
                                                           First day in my city!
   The fist day in my city was very tiring after flying a whole day from New York to Rome . I had took a train from rome to Florence in where my host family was going to pick me up . as soon as i seen my parents i said to myself " This looks like an Italian family " and sort after noticed i was in Italy !

                                                             First day at school! 
   First day at school was amazing ! As soon as I stepped into the classroom , I had friends . I remembered the first question a student asked me was "Is your favorite team Lakers"? As i responded  yes off course! The second question a student asked me "if i had a girlfriend " my respond was no . Shortly after a lot of students started approaching me and talking to me and asking me question about Los Angeles . Now Im  friends with almost the whole school . Everyday I say about 50 "Ciao"

                                                           First camp with afs ! 
     My first day at camp with afs was amazing ! I meet about 20 students around the whole world . American , dominican republic , German , Swittish , PuertoRican , Turkish , French , Japan , China , and much more people . Its as if the whole world came together as one . In the future who knows we might even travel world wide to visit all of this friends from other countries .
