The snow continues to pour down and we are seizing the moment in everyday. Even though I actually despise the snow (also known as neve in Italian) and usually am not a happy person in it, I am enjoying the beauty and fun it can bring. Snowball fights are happening about two or three times a day, which usually encourage Italians of all ages to participate. Unable to hold back our laughter, we have witnessed many spills on the icy stradas. Last night we drove around in our friend's mini Fiat pulling donuts and ambushing passerbyer with snowballs, which eventually turned into a giant snow fight on the side of the main road. Its no question we are the children of Mama Theresa unable to hold back our competitive spirit, only sometimes feeling obliged to say, "Mi dispiace" (only you mum could know what it feels like to say sorry in such a instigative way) for pegging someone in the face.
Today, we went "skiiing" which actually means sledding, and it was a blast, but oh so cold. Our best was 6 people piled on one innertube! Italians like to have fun and we are eager to follow suit!
