Carlo Gavatorta ...and time goes by so fast!!

It has been a while since I posted something in this blog and lots of things have happened. My exchange is going great and I'm loving Steamboat and all the people I've met who are part of my life here. Snowboarding is becoming one of my favorite things ever and I'm gonna keep doing it in Italy too.

Right after Christmas holidays I went to Agua Prieta, Mexico, with Interact and some rotarians to give gifts to the orphans down there. I had a great experience and we had a great time with the rotarians and interact kids of Agua Prieta. Giving the gifts to the orphans really made us feel very good and seeing all those smiles on their faces made us feel happy too. The thing that impressed me the most though was driving in the slums and giving gifts to the very poor people from the back of the truck. It was an amazing experience!

I also went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for the ski trip with all the exchange students and we had a blast!! The ski mountain is great there and we had so much fun skiin together. I really think this Rotary District is great compared to others, we get to do so much stuff together and it really seems that they care a lot about us exchange students. I'm really glad to be in this District, especially in Steamboat!

So...life is going great, school is good and friends are awesome. I wouldn't ask more from this year at this point. Time is going by very fast and I already feel sad thinking about the end of all of this. Well, I also try not to think about it and live every minute intensely and do anything I have the opportunity to do.
