My week with Giorgio Pezzolla

 Dear friends,

I haven't written for a long time because I've been very busy. How are you? I hope you're all fine :-)

I spent a fantastic week with Giorgio Pezzolla. He is a good student and a good  friend! Giorgio lives in the towncentre, opposite the park, a really nice place to live in! On my first day with him  I received a good welcome from his family. At lunch we ate a typical Italian dish “Carbonara”. In the afternoon Giorgio did his homework and then we watched an Italian film, “Quo vado?” by Checco Zalone.

It is a comedy film and I laughed a lot. Later, together with Edoardo (Giorgio’s brother) we watched a football match played by Lecce  team. We were happy because Lecce won the match. In the evening Giorgio’s family took me to “Pizzeria da Carlino” and we ate a good pizza.  At 11:00 p.m. we came back home to sleep.

On the other days Giorgio went to school while I stayed at home to help his mum in the kitchen. One day I made an Italian main course: Maccheroni dressed with tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, ham and cooked in the oven. It was yummy! 

I'm becoming a good cook! 

In the afternoon we spent three hours in the biggest shopping centre in Mesagne. Giorgio bought a cool sweatshirt and a pair of shoes. In the evening Giorgio went out with his friends.

An unforgettable day was Sunday: Giorgio woke up at 11 a.m. and at lunchtime we went to Squinzano, a city located north of Lecce because Giorgio’s grandmother lives there. His granny is lovely! In the afternoon we had a walk to Casalabate, a wonderful seaside resort near Squinzano.

Another beautiful day was last Monday, when Giorgio took me to the swimming pool located in Cellino San Marco. He swims very fast! When he finished swimming he was  a bit tired so we ate a good cake. Finally we returned home and we watched a good film together. 

Staying with Giorgio is a wonderful experience, one of the best in my life: I’ve known lots of fantastic people, his brother Edoardo and his parents are very nice! I love Italy and the Italians!... But don't forget you're always in my heart!
