We spent the first half of today at a local flea market. It's kind of like a giant yard sale that runs the length of several streets. I bought some jewelry (You know I love jewelry!) and lots of cute scarves. Everyone in Italy wears scarves around their necks!
The second half of the day was our game, which we won 4-1 against Rome, followed by the opening ceremonies. I will never know what it's like to be a part of the Olympics, but I would have to say this was about as close as I'll ever get! They played our national anthem while the girls walked around a track waving American flags. The crowd was chanting U.S.A, U.S.A., U.S.A... Words just can't describe the pride we felt.
My time away is flying by. I finally got a hot shower last night! Please don't ever take for granted what we have in America. Living conditions can always be worse, so be thankful for what you have. I love you all more than you will ever know. I will be back before you know it.
Mrs. Allen
