school's out!

the last day of class was today! woohoo! haha no, to be honest it was a little bittersweet. or at least from my end...i think kameron was glad to be done. i learned soo much in my class, and enjoyed every single day. i was so excited to finally get to bring home all of my projects today to show kameron. and he even seemed impressed (or he pretended to be)! and i even asked my mom for jewelry tools for my birthday. does that make me a nerd? haha :)

tuesday was AMAZING! our chocolate & wine tasting was so awesome. we ended up trying 13 different kinds of chocolate, and 3 different kinds of wine. we learned that there are 3 different types of cocoa beans, each responsible for different kinds of chocolate. my favorite was chocolate covered orange peels...sounds weird, but they were so good! kameron's favorite was a pistachio kind...i liked it a lot too. we tried 3 kinds of wine that were from 3 different regions, and all were pretty sweet. kameron didn't care for any of the 3 much, but i loooved bricco magno. it was really sweet, and apparently there are only 35 producers of it worldwide! there were only 2 other people in the group with us, a couple from phoenix. it was nice to have such a small group :)

tomorrow we are off to siena & san gimignano for the day. it should be a fun and relaxing final trip for us. i will try to update one last time before i come home :)

love love love
