Legambiente

I'm in Italy now working as a volunteer for Legambiente. I am living with 22 other volunteers and we work every day on the Festambiente which means the environmental festival. The festival is in Vicenza between Verona and Venice. The festival begins tomorrow and runs through Sunday.

I went to Venice on Sunday and it was a beautiful city. I took pictures but I cannot post at this time. About 10 of us from the camp went and had a great time.

The camp has been a lot of fun and extremely busy. I am the only American in the camp and the only native english speaker. That has added to the enjoyment of the camp. There is one Puerto Rican and 2 Mexicans, other than that, everyone is from either Europe or South Korea. We have to cook have of the food ourselves. Last night, the 2 Russians and 2 Estonians cooked a Russian dinner and it was pretty good. It was nice to eat something other than pasta for a change.

We are living in an old seminary barracks. It's basically a dorm. My roommates are David Camacho, everyone calls him Camacho because its fun to say, from Puerto Rico and Jae and Jake from South Korea. When everyone gets together at night to drink and play some games, Jae insists that we bring my ipod down to listen. I guess they like my American music or it's more universally accepted. Things are going good, I will post pictures when I can. I still have pictures from Paris, Normandy and Amsterdam that need to be posted.

It's not easy to access the internet here so I hope to post again but I am not sure when that will be.
