Dad's Birthday

1-4-13

I woke up a little before 2 this morning when Roberto was knocking on my door telling me that lunch was ready.  I had stayed up until 4 last night so that’s why I slept in so late.  I had lunch and then I went back to my room so that I could try to skype with my dad for his birthday.  I uploaded some pictures from Assisi and then my dad got online so I skyped with him for a while.  Then I skyped with my mom until Janie came over. 

We watched a movie and then got ready to go to a small birthday party.  We walked to the pub around 8 and met up with Giulia and her friends.  We all sat at a big table and tonight was the first time that I have ever eaten at the pub.  It was really good.  We talked for the rest of the night.

A little while ago, Janie and I were told that there was another American in Fabriano for basketball so we have wanted to meet him for a while.  A really tall guy walked into the pub tonight and Janie instantly thought it was the American so she asked all of Giulia’s friends and they said that it was him.  Nobody really knew him very well so Janie and I went over to him and introduced ourselves.  He has been here since November and he is staying until May to play basketball.  We met the rest of his basketball team and then talked for a couple more minutes.  It was really cool to speak English to someone other than Janie. 

Around 12, we went to talk with some other friends and then Janie’s host mom picked us up and took me home.  My internet isn’t working tonight so I guess it’s a motive to go to sleep somewhat early even though it’s already 1:15.  Maybe around 2.

Buonanotte!
