Jewel Comes to Florence

This is me and my friend Jewel. Jewel was in my class when we lived in St. Thomas. She was here in Florence for a few days this summer. She spent the night at my house and we did facials!

Sailing on Barnegat Bay

This is me and all my Opti C friends sailing on the bay. My mom took the picture from my grandparent's porch in July.

Mr. Spark's Opti Rockstars

This is McKenzie, Me, Julia and Gillian about to go out to our boats for the Powder Puff Regatta. We were in the motorboat which was really fun - my instructor had to go really fast to get the water out because the plug was broken. The next picture is us back at the club after the races. We did so well at the races that Mr Spark (the head instructor) called us all his "rockstars". The other picture is of me sailing in one of the races.

McKenzie

This is my cousin McKenzie and me behind her. We were getting ready for the Powder Puff Regatta. I won sixth place at the regatta. It was our first Opti regatta ever.

Clotilde and Olesia

This is me and Alice at our friends Clo and Olesia's house in San Donato in Collina. The right one is Clo and the left one is Olesia. They live in Florence in the winter, but they live in the country in San Donato (about half an hour away) in the summer.

Bike riding with Valentina

This is me bike riding with my friend Valentina in Piazza Santa Croce. Valentina goes to school with me. She's one grade higher than me, but she is the same age as me. Me and Valentina are very good friends and like to play together after school in the piazza on the bikes (and we ride on her mom's bike together). Her nickname is Vale (you say it "val-ay").
