Baveno is a beautiful place. I had a relaxing day around Baveno (where i am staying) and got to explore the waterfront. The view is incredible and the church is beautiful as well, just like everything here! Alberto and I spent the day at the lake playing beach volleyball and swimming. He is a great italian teacher!!! Mario and Bruna met up with us and we relaxed for a while, before Mario and I left to play soccer. Mario plays with about 16 other guys every Friday. It was a very international game; one guy from Romania, two from Bolivia, one from Equador, many from Italy, and myself from Stati Uniti. Afterwards, we went to a Pizzeria and pub as a group and had a good time.
I've been playing the videogame Assasin's Creed (in Italian) when i have been bored here. It is exciting because the game is based in ancient Florence and Tuscany so, since I am in Italy, I truly feel in the game.
Saturday, Gian Paolo had a rigatta on Lago d' Orta which is about 15 minutes from Baveno. We went and watched him race. Once again, a beautiful lake and view.
I
am working on my Italian, a lot! I have already improved greatly since Wednesday, when I got here. I have already conquered present tense (except for irregular) of verbs. Next battle: past tense.
Ciao
