A Year in Italy

I've always wanted to be an exchange student, and now my dream has become reality. And what better place to spend a year than in Italy. I will be living in Brescia, a city in northern Italy. It sits at the base of the Alps right next to Lago di Garda. Could I ask for anything more?

After eatting so many pasteries, I thought I was going to burst, we moved back upstairs, and out into the rain. Waiting for us outside were 50 or more old cars. We got in and proceeded to have races through the vineyard. Then, once we reached the golden gate, we began an annual procession through all of the villages in the region. Despite the rain, everyone came out of their houses to wave at us as we drove by. The last stop on our tour was a home for the mentally ill. The rotary donated something like 30000£ to them. Everyone was hugging, singing, and laughing. It was so much fun. We ended our day back at the hotel were we ate another delicious meal. Its funny how different the Italian Rotary club is from ours. We have rubber duck races and they have old car races.
