Legitimate post! Yay!

Ok, now I really do have time to write a legitimate entry. Sardegna with my sisters was awesome. We had so much fun! I had a lot of adventures, especially with traveling, but everything worked out. Actually let me tell you a story about how the trip started out for me. I took the train to the center and then got on the metro, which I had to take literally to the end of the line. Then I took a city bus (I later learned I definitely should have taken an airport shuttle bus). The bus dropped me off at the closest stop to the airport, which according to google maps is about a mile. Meh, I can walk a mile no problem. And I’m about 4 hours early at this point. So I’m walking along, and I just keep going. And going and going. I should have reached the airport. So I asked this random super nice old man where the airport is. He was very surprised that I would be walking because it’s so far away. He told me that I was on the wrong side of the airport and would have to walk around to the other side to actually get in. So I started walking, just following his directions and the signs for the airport. You know how there are signs for the airport starting from like 5 miles out? I started from BEFORE the signs. I walked along this small road (almost flagged down a tour bus but decided against it) for a long time, and eventually the airport came into view. The complete wrong side of it. I laughed so hard at myself. I was actually having the time of my life this whole time. I wasn’t late, I had my music, it was a beautiful day, there were flowers and the Lord loves me, so I was good. Any normal person probably would have been crying, but I was definitely being that person who rocks out to their music with drum solos even though they look like an idiot. So anyway I’m on this road, which puts me on the freeway (an actual freeway in Italy, gasp). Walking along the wrong side of the freeway for a couple miles was interesting too. I got yelled and honked at so much it was a little ridiculous. And I wondered why they didn’t offer me a ride too, I mean I’m walking ON THE FREEWAY and they’re telling me how beautiful I am but not helping me. Hilarious. I made it to the airport in plenty of time (thank you dad for teaching me to leave with way too much time to spare) and even got a good seat on the plane.
Sardegna was amazing right from the get go. I had missed the last bus to the hotel so the guy at the desk literally brought my sisters to come and get me. He was basically our adopted grandpa for the trip. He reminded us a lot of Grandpa M too. (trying to avoid name use in cyberspace. It’s interesting.) He asked if I was hungry (even if you aren’t you should basically never turn down an offer of food since it’s going to be amazing) and when I said yes he took us to his friend’s restaurant. They were closing up but they shared their food with me and we just hung out for a couple hours. We made some good friends that night, and we came back to the restaurant for a real dinner later which was so good….I’m never going to be satisfied with food again after I leave here. My sisters were shocked by the amount of food they gave us. Italians are a little ridiculous with how much they eat for dinner. But I told them you had to eat it all or else it’s a big insult. So we did. We had snails too, which are actually delicious. A bit weird when you actually look at what you’re putting in your mouth, but they’re good. Oh, and also he gave us a bottle of wine that opened up the world of wine for me. I had never had really good wine before so I never really understood it, but this stuff was a little bit life changing. We sat out on the balcony and watched the ocean while we drank it (paying a bit of attention to the soccer game too, since Italy was playing). Such a good night. We spent Monday on the beach, nice and chill. Tuesday was rainy so we went into town and went shopping and just saw the sights. We went to this gelato place and one of my sisters (again, name use. Haha) asked for nutella gelato and ended up getting a straight up scoop of nutella. We laughed so hard. But it was totally delicious. We went into this random asian shop and I got a CAT 5 cable, so now I can actually get online from my computer and skype people. Yay! I’m really happy about that.
I hope everything at home is going well for everyone who’s reading this. You’re all in my prayers. I love you!
