The Capponi's

Cousin Andrea and girlfriend Camilla

Last night I finally had the chance to meet with my second cousin Andrea and his girlfriend. He sent me a text message and told me that him and his girlfriend would like to meet me at campo de fiori, and since some of my friends and I were already planning to go out there-it worked perfect! I met them there and they are such wonderful people! Very nice. I really liked his girlfriend, she spoke english well and she is going to college to become a translator. She knows english, french, russian, and spanish and she is working on another language. WOW-impressive. Andrea doesn't know english as well but he was trying and his girlfriend was translating for us as needed. They are both 19 years old, and they have been dating for about 5 months now. They were both really tall, I honestly felt like a midget. Andrea graduated from highschool and he said he's done with school. In January, he is going to become a swim instructor. He said he has been swimming since he was 6 years old (same swimming pool that mom swam at) and also played water polo growing up-so cool!! They tried to help navigate me to places in Rome. They told me some places to go and they were really excited when they found out that Tamara and Brad were coming over. They would like to meet both of them, and said they want to take Brad and I out to eat at their favorite restaurant which happens to be right down the street from my school (sorry Tay...) But they said they will be around the weekend that Tay is here and I'm sure we will have lunch or something with them. It was so much fun to get to know them a little better. It's finally the weekend for me! Tonight I will be staying in-I'm going to a cooking class in the morning with Chef Andrea. After the class, I'm hoping to make it over to Rosanna's shop finally! Tay, Bridget and Patti will be here next weekend, I'm so so so excited!! It will be nice to see family/someone from home. I'm looking forward to their visit :)
