Oh Boy

I'm back from Fregene for the weekend to relax. See, on Sunday, at Lake Bracciano, I slipped on a hill and twisted my knee. And heard a snap. It hurt so badly it knocked the wind out of me. Luckily Debo, Philipp and Natalie were with me. They took me to the hospital, where it took about 3 hours to get my knee checked out. They still don't know what exactly happened to my ligament until the MRI in a few days.

However, Lake Bracciano was amazing before all of that. Philipp has his own sailboat and although it's meant for one person, he took each of us out on it! It was really amazing!! He showed me how to sail!! At one point, I had to pull on this cord and put my body parallel with the water and trust that this bungie would hold my feet!! And when you want to turn to go in the other direction, you have to duck so the pole doesn't hit you in the head! But when we tried to turn, Philipp's "steering wheel" hit the pole and the boat tipped over!! It was CRAZY! Hahah. We rented a kayak for two, too, so that the other two people cold go out on the lake while Philipp was sailing with the fourth person. It was so much fun! I went out with Debo and when we got to the middle of the lake (not as big as Lake Champlain, I might add) I jumped in! Woohoo!! We ate Kepabs for lunch, which are like pitas from heaven. Mmmmmm!! Then we climbed up this huge hill for an amazing view of Bracciano and the lake and some ruins...and that's when I tumbled to my fate.
