3rd Stop: Treviso, Italy (FOOD POST!)
My homestay with Valentina’s family in Treviso was nice!
(Above: Balcony dinner! So nice~~
Below: Valentina and I <3)
I was a little iffy at first because staying by myself in someone else’s house in a foreign country is scary! (Plus I don’t speak Italian!) I was so glad that they were super welcoming though. Valentina’s friends were nice too. We all went to the waterpark, and hung out at the town square at night.
The best part of the homestay was the FOOD. First night’s dinner at a restaurant was A WHOLE PIZZA. TO MYSELF. oh my god. 
But the best food is at home! Mrs. Louisa’s cooking was to DIE for. Second night’s dinner! My favorites in this dish: RICE (YESSS) Tomatos (YAY) EGGPLANTS (YES YES YES) 
Second night’s dinner! Bravo apple juice!!! So good. Shrimp pasta! <3 yum.
Those German BRAVO drinks were SOO good. I want some right now!!
This ham and melon dish was AMAZING. I guess it’s pretty basic in Italy. 
Valentina and her brother Federico took a few other girls in my group and myself to explore Venice (again) and I had Carbonara for lunch! 
It was deliziosissima!!! I felt so dumb when I asked for some creamy pasta, like with an Alfredo sauce. It turns out there’s no such thing as “alfredo sauce” in Italy. AMERICAN TRICKS! The Italian girls were like, “We have a friend named Alfredo…but he doesn’t make sauce…what…?” haha. Dumb American moment right there.
