And I was like OMG

The first day that i arrived in Italy the steep learning curve begun. 

I have limited internet access so will write blogs as I go and post them when I can.

  

I had a minor hic up with no airport pick up but once that was sorted it has been smooth sailing. I have all my equipment and everything is very nice and professional. We had our team presentation which took the entire day and for me I understood very little so it was a very long day.

I’ve decide to create ‘the list’ on ‘the list’ is notes of the things I’ve seen, heard, what has/ about to happen,  everything along those lines.

‘THE LIST”

-My Italian has improved 100% since I have arrived and i'm picking up quickly

- For dinner you have 4 courses and my team eat as fast as I speak

- I' m averaging 8 coffees a day. As soon as someone says ‘caffe’ everyone yells ‘see see’ and away you go. You have two options espresso and cappuccino.

- My team is great. Everyone is very nice,  as well as the management who have been very understanding of language barrier and are trying to cater to all my needs.

- The food is amazing.

- The country side is everything I imagined and more. So beautiful, with snow cap mountains, small roads, little villages everywhere.

- I’m currently on team camp, and will go ‘home’ to Forli on Monday to get settled down. 3 of the 11girls on the team live near me so i will have good training partners.

- You do everything together, except shower and go to the toilet. Café, training, walking around, washing, going  with each other to do each others chores!

...and of course the photos
