Well it's officially been a month since I moved out to Cagliari. For the most part I love it here but still really miss everything I left behind. The next few months wont be so bad though because I get to see my amazing boyfriend in February when he comes to visit ! :) I've been trying to keep busy on evenings and weekends to keep my mind busy so I dont get too homesick. Last saturday I went to Villasimius , a very popular beach town about an hour away . It made me fall in love with the island even more ! Here are a few pictures of the trip to Villasimius

21

Yesterday was my 21st birthday , I have only been here a couple weeks so I wasnt really expecting to do much. I've made a few friends since I got here so I thought maybe we would go out for a couple beer and relax since I worked the next day. There is an 'English speakers group' here in Cagliari where both English speakers and Italian speakers who would like to learn English meet up every wednesday. I decided to go there for an hour or so but was told by my host mother to be back by 8:30 because she 'needed me to look after the baby while she went to a meeting'. Being the great Au Pair that I am , I came home ten minutes before my curfew and ruined the surprise that was being prepared for me , a surprise pizza supper with a few of my friends and my host mother's friends. After supper I then went out for a couple drinks with friends . What I expected to be a not so great 21st birthday turned into one of my most memorable birthdays , not everyone can say they were in Italy for their birthday ! :) 

Might as well add some more pictures because I have neglected to do so lately..
