Summer update

Hi everyone!!! I didn't have any free time to look after my blog in the last month... I'm really sorry for that, there are so many things to say.

First of all, I was in an international camp called "Go Green" in Esslingen, Germany with a group of youngsters from Udine!!! For the first time, I was asked by the Youth Agency of Udine to be the groupleader. So of course I said: YES! And we started our 10-day holiday, the only that I managed to have this summer (there's a lot of work to do...). We stayed in a beautiful hotel all eco-friendly for a couple of days, and then we moved to a camp near lake Hoplfensee. In the nature! Without electricity and "european" bathroom! With a lot of moschitos and bugs and all the things that you are not used to if you live in the city... First when we arrived I thouht: O my God, I will never survive...! But it was such a great, relaxing experience, and I really proud of myself, at the end, with all the spiders around I had the time of my life! I'm so happy I got to know very nice people from Europe: from Germany France, Poland, Bielorussia, Wales, and Hungary.
For 10 days we went mountain-climbing (OMG - I was dying, it was so difficult), canoeing at the beautiful lake, sightseeing in the city and walking in the nature, or just sunbathing and getting to know each other and different cultures. We had some very special workshops about some green topics, for example organic farming, fair trade, CO2, renewal energy.

I have to say that I'm very proud of my little group of Italian youngsters: they were a great company, funny, nice and very open! Usually they say that Italians cannot speak foreign languages, but this time we really were the best to communicate in English - of course just after the Welsh people :) I'm very happy to got to know you guys, kisses to: Francesca, Valentina, Alessandro, Riccardo e Sergjio. I had so much fun, and I really turned 18 again with you, thank you so much!

I really hope we can stay connected to all the people we got to know during this camp.

Now I'm posting some photos from the camp and those that I took of the city of Esslingen - a twincity of Udine. I would like to thank to Margit for the "cultural" tour!!!
