LuccaBella In Italia

I told Mamma I want to write on my blog and she said that was great. I stopped wanting to write for a while. I wanted to watch cartoons and play and then my Nonni and Nonno came here and I stopped to be with them. Nonni means grandparents and Nonna is the right way to say grandma but in America I always said Nonni.
My teachers at scherma had a Halloween party for everyone. It was so much fun. We got to do all of our training in our costumes but no swords that day. We did have a piñata. It was great! My Zia sent me my costume because I think they do not have Superhero costumes here. I like superhero’s and I wanted to be Bat Girl. I think my costume was the best because I was the only superhero. My Mom took pictures of everyone and even the food. Italians are not so used to Halloween so Mamma made cupcakes and we took them to our neighbors and I was in my costume. They all were surprised and they gave me a candy back too. Some house I got to go to on two nights. They invited me. I need to think what I need to tell Zia what I should be next year.

Mamma Mia:  I am glad LuccaBella has her writing “bug” back again. For an 8 year old it is not easy to stay with something. For an adult it is not easy to keep the drive. She enjoys scherma (fencing) and their party was so cute. The piñata was a paper bag filled with candy. Remember, this is Italy & we are not close to Mexico or have any type of Mexican themed stores anywhere. I am lucky to find tortillas & canned refried beans when I want to cook Mexican. Bat Girl did enjoy walking the block with her cupcakes in hand on Saturday night while she collected candy in trade & then on Sunday Halloween went back to some houses for a 2nd loot. Not bad for a 1st Halloween experience in Italy. Thank you Zia for Bat Girl & also, thank you for not sending a Robin costume for SkippyJon Jones!
