Casteggio

My new camp is in a wee town south of Milan called Casteggio. The kids are smart, though a bit overly lively at times, but I am having a lot of fun. I'm staying with a host family who actually lives up in the hills above Casteggio in another town of only 100 people. It is awesome. We are surrounded by hills full of vineyards. It is just crazy beautiful. My host family also has a pool which makes the heat almost bearable. There are of course, still too many mosquitos, and I am covered in bites.

I absolutely love my host family. The mother grew up in South Africa so speaks perfect English. The father also speaks awesome English. The kids (Valentina and Francesco) are adorable, friendly, and just awesome. I feel so lucky to have been placed with them. I'm taking a bunch of pictures and even though I probably won't upload any or have another chance to update this week, I will update the blog and my facebook again soon.
