My experiences in Italy - by Elizabeth

Today we are in Italy. Yesterday we went to Lucca. We hired some bikes, two gear bikes for William and I, and tandem bikes for mum and dad to have Xavier and James on the back of them. We road on Lucca's wall. The wall is famous for the trees that grow on it and how wide it is. It was fun. We stopped at a park on the way around the wall. It had a swing, 2 slides, a climbing frame, a wizzy dizzy and monkey bars. Then we went to the Piazza in the centre of Lucca. It had very nice gelati. We had some. I did a report on the Roman ampitheatre that we were in - it is now the place where the piazza is.
Italy is wonderful. I love it. It feels like home although it is very different. They take alot of time and care with their food and it tastes better than home. The fruit and vegies are yummy. The strawberries are more light and the broccoli is more bright and tastier.
The people are kind but when it comes to the la
nguage it is a little wierd. It isn't hard though once you have learnt it though.
Right now I am sitting on our beautiful verandah in Greve in Chianti. I am listening to the birds swooping and chirping. We have a river right beside our house and I have named all the cats that sit on the banks of the river. The girl black and white one is Angie, the boy black and white one is Spike, the white one with the stripey tail is Earl, the white one is Vinnie, the black one is Midnight and the grey one is Bambie. Sometimes the ducks go along the river too.
From where I am sitting right now I see the beautiful mountains rushing between my eyes, the beautiful houses, all rectangular and all different colours, the River Greve scurrying through the arch and my beautiful mum sitting right in front of me.
Tonight we had some spagetti that was nice, but we could have had some more spagetti. We also had an entree of salami, tomatoes, bread sticks and olives, and some oil to dip the bread in.
Tonight dad and I skipped down to the shops and got a kinda surprise. It had chocoloate on one side and a toy on the other side - a little bit different to the ones in Australia. We bought one for William and one for me.

I really miss everyone at home and I wish that you could all be over here too.
