Positano & Capri... Yes please!

Hiii! I can't believe this is my last week abroad!! The countdown has officially begun and I am very excited to be in America with you again! ...but also sad to be leaving such an amazing place that I have become so comfortable with! Is it possible to be in 2 places at once yet???

I know I have become a slack blogger... and I apologize... there has just been so much to do now that we are winding down. Last week was for the most part really chill.. we spent a lot of time in class and had lunch at the beach again which was fun! 

Friday morning we left bright and early for our 2nd optional trip to POSITANO! I had heard so many great things about Positano and was very excited to finally be going. It was the perfect place to spend our last weekend together. I will truly miss the "Chigi Babies". They have become best friends and like family since I have been gone and it will be quite the adjustment not spending every day with them. The weather forecast for Positano said rain ALL weekend so we packed warmer clothes with disappointment but tried not to let it get us down. 

Well... like always, the Italian weathermen were WRONG! We had beautiful weather and even got to take a ferry to CAPRI on Saturday! Capri is fabulousss! Definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever been....

Lemon Slush!
Positano is famous for their HUGE lemons and anything you can make with lemons! I had 3 of these slushies before the weekend was over! haha

First night at dinner! Over looking the water.

1st course: Yummy pasta with mussels!

2nd course: Fried shrimp... unpeeled! With their heads and all!
Waiting for the ferry to Capri on Saturday! Bluest water I have ever seen.

Sunday we walked down to the beach and enjoyed our last few hours there before we headed back to Ariccia! It was a perfect weekend!

:)
A successful weekend for sure! Now we are back in Ariccia... trying to finish up our last assignment: Capstone Paper! and it's rough!! After hardly doing any school work for an entire semester, writing a TWELVE page paper during your last week is not easy, or fun. I have been procrastinating.. (even more now that I am doing this blog) but the good news is I only have 2 more pages so I will finish it up today! Besides that we are packing, cleaning, getting last minute souvenirs, and just having fun together the rest of the week! Bittersweet!

Thursday night we are hosting our 2nd appertivo but this time it's "homestyle"!! We are making fried chicken, mashed potatoes, buffalo dip, 7 layer dip, and other yummy dishes the Italians are going to loveeee :) haha I am excited!

I can't believe I will be home in 4 days! Just in time for Easter! Yay!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!!! Miss you all dearly.

xoxo
