So, I've made it to Italy!
The flight was ok. I was sad that we didn't have our own little tvs, only a small one at the front, but oh well. I sat next to an Iranian woman who just want to give me all the advice she could! Very cute. Here is a picture from my flight from Chicago to Amsterdam. 
The connecting flight was fun. I met up with three other students here and we shared a taxi to the Villa. Here is a picture from the cab on the way to the villa.
Sesto is beautiful! Tonight
we had the cutest dinner of soup, salad, and frittata. (Sorry, no pictures of that...perhaps I'll take some at breakfast.) We eat in an area where they used to store the lemons in the winter. It's very cute. We eat buffet style and the chef and help are just so nice.
After dinner, a few of us walked around the outside of the Villa...pictures to come! It is absolutely gorgeous! After we walked all around there we went out for some gelato. So delicious!--I had NUTELLA flavored! Here are some pictures of us walking around Sesto.
