I’m in Italy! I have been here for a few days now but have not blogged. Sorry about that… Anyways, my mom came in to Sevilla on Saturday and got to see where I live and go to school. She also got to meet my senora. That was really fun! We spent the day just walking around the city a little and then we left for Cagliari, Italy that night.
Traveling to Cagliari proved to be more difficult and more of an adventure than we had planned on. We arrived pretty late at night, so the doors to our B&B were locked and there was no one there. We were stranded in the middle of a street in Cagliari at 1:00 am with all our luggage and no idea what to do! Thankfully, our taxi driver was extremely nice and he drove us around to a bunch of other hotels and B&B’s to find one that could accommodate us. We nicknamed him “Mario” because it just seemed to fit, and I’m pretty sure he was our guardian angel! It was an adventure, to say the least.
The next couple days in Cagliari were much less frantic. We spent lots of time walking around the city, shopping, and asking strangers for directions when we were lost. The people there (and in all of Italy so far) are so nice! Even if they don’t speak English, they try to help and are very patient.
My favorite things in Cagliari were the little balcony off our hotel room, the old men at the hotel front desk, the view of the city, the cathedral, a pier that had incredible views of mountains and the ocean, the market, and the authentic lasagna I had at a very cute restaurant there.
