Day 1 of Aviano- Explorations..

I slept forever last night!  I didn't wake up until about 11:45 am (italian time).  Last night I could not find any real food so I was on the hunt for a real meal quickly!  It wasn't as hard as I thought, it was just through the tunnel to the shopette.  SUBWAY.. I was SUPER excited too!  There I met a friend, who showed me around most of the day.  We walked all around Aviano.  But everything was closed.  One of the things about Italy is they open around 9 am and close at 12 and then open up around 2 or 3 until 9 pm or so.  So, from 12 to 3 the town is dead which is quite interesting.  We did go to a beautiful catholic church and that was awesome!  I had some amazing hot chocolate!!!  It was to die for!  I also had for the first time.. Italian Pizza!! DELICOUS!!  The food has been awesome!  

When I was trying to get back on base, they tried to tell me I could not get back because I did not have my sponsor with me who is the principal.  That was potentially a bad thing, but luckily the people I was with were military and they helped me out!  I was sweating it for a second.. but I made it!  I have a television, but it doesn't work. That kind of sucks.  I have no idea what is going on in the world really, but maybe when I'm in the classroom it will be better!  I just can't wait until I get my pass that lets me on and off the base without hassle!  Well, I'm off to sleep now.. until tomorrow everyone have a great evening!
