Cibo di Italia.... Questo Mi Piace

The title is TERRIBLE Italian so don't judge me! I tried to say... Food of Italy.... This I like... I know it isn't perfect and it probably never will be... but hey I'm learning some ;)

So this past weekend we went to a festival known as the Feste di Torrone. It is the most famous festival in Cremona because Cremona is known for it's Torrone! It was created here! :) It is made of honey, sugar, nuts, and other delicious things. I actually like it alot.

This is Torrone... It doesn't look so great but I promise it is good! So this is what the festival was centered around!


Also a TON of exchange students came to the festival... so I got to see all my lovely exchangers and meet some new ones as well. There were kids from Sardinia and it was pretty cool to hear about the differences in the south. They stayed the whole weekend so we got to spend a lot of time with them and show them the city as well! It was great! Now I will ppost a few pictures to excite your visual senses ;) Creative statement I think. <3

 This is just a small idea of how we all act in public... From left to right, Tessa- North Carolina, Chris- Missouri (repping the midwest ;)), Me!, Esther- Germanyyyyyyy! <3 Love these kids more than anything!

 My lovely friend Connor! Yes we are really this weird.. Breadstick mustaches are typical occurances at dinner in public. That's what us Midwest kids do... what can we say? ;)


 This picture KILLS me! I think it is so freaking funny! This is Kenneth from Sardinia! He is originally from Washington! He didn't know I was taking this and that is why it is SO funny!

 My girl Anna! From New York! Love her to death! She lives three hours away which makes me sad... but spending the weekend with her was awesome! :) Come visit me soon love <3


 Chowing on some cannolis with my girl Gwen, from Seattle, Washington :) Literally the BEST Italian food I have had... I could have ate 1,000.


 If this doesn't describe my eating problem... I don't know what does... ;)


 Not this weekend... but this was the 50 euros we found lying in the street... so what did we buy you may ask? Food... DUH! <3


That's all for now! More to come soon! Love and miss you all! <3 Kari!


***Ciao ragazzi! Ci vediamo!

Milano for a day.

Well as you can tell by the title... I went to Milan for a day with Kayleigh, another exchange student. We went with her host family to shop!!! Every girls dream of course ;) And let me tell you, it was like I was in heaven. Almost cried walking in Zara... it was sad. But I had an amazing time and managed to make it out without breaking my bank! I will post a few pictures from our trip. But this post will be short and sweet :)

 Kayleigh and I in front of the Galleria!


 Louis... yes this is real life and yes it was like being in heaven. However I couldn't bring myself to go in for the fact that I would leave completely depressed.



 Just about the only store I could afford.. But it was SUPER cool! Loved it!


 The entrance to a 5 story Zara... aka, the gates of heaven.


 Abercrombie model... Oh heyyy gorgeous. ;)

 Inside the Duomo, seriously breathtaking.


 Kayleigh and I, outside the Duomo... Yes, it really is as beautiful as it seems. Actually way more beautiful in person. I can't explain it.

Well that is all for now. I have more on Facebook if you are curious! I will post soon! Until then, ciao ci vediamo belli ;) -Kari <3
