My oldest is on a Synchronized Figure Skating team and two seasons ago a girl from Italy joined the team. She was a great. Awesome skater and added so much to the team. They actually made it to Nationals that year.
My funniest memory of her, was driving the car pool to a team practice. Just as we’re about to get up on the highway, a very large firetruck came into the intersection. Honestly, it was the largest firetruck I had ever seen.
Her reaction was hysterical…
“OH MY such a big truck. So American!”
Thought she had summed up nicely, America’s insane infatuation around overly large vehicles.

We were all very sad to see her go back to Italy.
