Today it snowed in Perugia for the second time. Snow here is a light dusting in the more open areas and some ice. On the way to Italian class this morning I saw a man whose car was stalled in not even half an inch of snow on the very side of the road. Another road was blocked off by a sign with two giant snowflakes on it, I guess indicating it was too dangerous to drive on. I know that it's just because they're not used to or particularly prepared for snow but my New England self couldn't help but smirk a bit.
Back to studying for my Italian midterm tomorrow. And don't wish me luck, in Italy that's actually considered bad luck. Instead they use a phrase that translates to "in the mouth of the wolf" and you are supposed to respond "may it die". Do let me know if you can figure out the meaning behind that.

A long letter home.

May I say "in the mouth of da bear"? Did you get a photo of the sign with the giant snow flakes! What fun!
Bear works for everything. I didn't get a picture, sorry. If there's another snow I will try to.
