My last night was Monday, June 18th. I didn´t have class so I did errands...laundry, shopping, packing, and found some time to sit at the pool.
My classmates decided that they wanted to make me dinner for my last night. Very nice of them. I went to Saaaaandi and Fabian´s apartment at 7.45pm as planned but they were not ready. Sandi asked if I could come back in about 10 minutes because she was having problems putting Leon, her baby, to sleep. So, I left, went for a glass of wine, then went back in 15 minutes.
When I walked into the apartment, I realized that my classmates surprised me with "brunch for dinner". They knew that more than anything....I was missing NYC brunch and egg white omellettes (you can´t find omellettes anywhere in Italy)...so they made an entire brunch....omellettes, french toast, fruit salad, crepes, etc...You name it, they made it. They had a huge spread! It was so amazing. It was the nicest gift ever. I got very sad (and happy) and had to hold back the tears.
Mia also made me a collage of my trip photos on a DVD. She even put music to it. My friends also bought me peanut butter (another food you can´t find), and an English newspaper. I was amazed. I thought we were going to have pasta again...but no...I had the brunch that I have been dreaming about for weeks now.
I made some wonderful friends in Grado... my 2 weeks would not have been the same without them!
To Mia, Matt, Timmie, Saaaaandi-Fabian-Leon, Mark and Heather....Thank you for a fabulous last day, it was the best present ever. Good luck in school and please stay in touch! I will miss you!!!
