My host family returned from their ski trip today - they had been gone since last Friday, so it was just me and the housekeeper at home for the week. It appears a good time was had by them, although they (well at least the parents) are a bit drained from the long trip home - 3 trains, a plane, and then a train! But its nice to have lots of activity in the house after a very quiet week.
I had a chat with the kids in english, and we discussed their holiday - what they did, where they stayed, what they ate etc, simple stuff but I doubt they spoke any english on their holiday so a nice way to just ease them back into speaking english. Next week they are back to school, so no doubt there will be some structure to their week, and of course some english homework I can help them with.
Who knows what the weekend will bring, the kids seem to change their minds quite often about what they want do, but hopefully we get out the house - perhaps go bowling again. Otherwise on Sunday I have an invite to go to Trastevere (an area in Rome across the river where there is apparently a decent food market) from one of the Au Pairs I met through the company that placed me on the conversation corps program.
