Yesterday's Election From a Future REPUBLICAN Teenager.
Well yesterday's election was uhhh.... SHOCKING.. to say the least! But was it really a major surprise to the Republicans? For the first time in I believe 140 years Republicans lost control of Montgomery County! I do not have to go into detail of the events of yesterday for most of us surely know what happened but I do feel compelled to ask Montgomery County Republicans.. Have we given up? I ask this because yesterday I myself campaigned in Lower Providence for REPUBLICAN candidate for Supervisor Janice Kearney, a very hard working, trustworthy, qualified prospect. But to my dismay I noticed that certain "Republican Elected" officials of Lower Providence were handing out DEMOCRATIC BALLOTS!!! Why am I, a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD high school student who does not hold a political office, campaigning for Republican Candidates while the people who do hold these positions are shying away. Have they lost hope in their own party they represent? Or are they just selfishly concerned with their own political futures. I cannot speak for all the other various townships in Montgomery County but I can conclude if our own Republican leaders who represent the Republican Party campaign for Democratic candidates, are the registered Republican Voters doing the same. I am not old enough to vote yet, but I am old enough to realize that the Republican Candidates of yesterday's elections were more than qualified and absolutely deserved to win their prospective elections, however their downfall very well may be attributed to the careless and selfish actions of certain Republican Office Holders.

Catching Up
What's up America!!!
I am very sorry to anyone out there who was following me during my trip...I tried to continue blogging but it was very hard to find computers and wifi! And since my return to the U.S I have been doing a lot of catching up in SAT work and running. I sincerely do apologize for the long wait. However I would like to fill all of you in from where I left off. Our days in Sicily were extremely fun! While there we got the opportunity to learn traditional Sicilian dances, which was interesting to say the least. We also got to climb Mount Etna, which was terrifying for those of us afraid of heights! And we even got to make our own pizza. Yummy! But one thing that stuck out to the majority of us was just the simple beauty of the island. Everything from the beaches to the buildings was fascinating. And for a lot of us, especially me being almost entirely Sicilian, it was sad to leave : ( But we were on an itinerary so it was time to move on and say good bye to Italy and the gelato and nutella we had all become addicted to. LOL. Tomorrow I promise I will blog again to continue our trip, which took us to the incredible country of Greece!

Salerno, Pompeii and Napoli
WAZZUP America
Sorry its really hard to find a comupter and wifi in italy but let me backtrack for you. So after we went to Rome we traveled to the beautiful town of Salerno to stay in our beachside hotel. The next day we traveled to Pompeii where we saw the ancient ruins; which included the ash covered houses and the well preserved dead bodies. After pompeii we got three hours of free time to walk and around and take in the beautiful sights of Naples and yes that was a sarcastic comment. Naples is imfamous for being slightly ghetto and being the home to hundreds of pig pockets, but thankfully we all survived and none of us had anything stolen. That night we boarded an overnight ferry to travel the amazing island of Sicili. Until next time Buena Nota and Ciao America!

Rome
WAZZZUPPP AMERICA
Sorry I have not been blogging lately.... Incase you did not know we all are extremly busy but heres a little catch up sooo after we deboarded the plane we went straight to the streets of Rome with our Austrian delegation manager burn its a really wierd name. After walking aroudn and getting our first taste of gelatto...we got to see the coluseeum, vatican, and the catacombs all of it was amazing and as we were there we all had to remind ourseleves that we were actually halfway around the world and actually witnessing these incredible places and buildings that we have been taught about since grade school. Our last night in Rome was deffiently one of the best times though... because at night we got to visit the historic Trevi Fountain and the Spanish steps. While at the SPanish steps we began to engage in dancing and riots wioth a bunch of drunk Germans... It was priceless!!!!!! Goodnight everyone

Departing!!
What's up America!!!
So this is my first official time blogging in Rome. I am currently seating on the balcony of my hotel looking out and taking in all that Rome has to offer. But me along with all my fellow ambassadors are very tired and I can tell you exactly why. The day started with all of us meeting @ Upper Dublin High school and after some emotional goodbyes we all boarded the bus to go to Philadelphia International Airport. Upon arrival we went through the long lines of baggage check and security. After that we had about two hours to spend in the terminal before boarding time. So after walking around for awhile we all began to crowd in our terminal. As we sat there myself and two other ambassadors Jackie Hotte and Haleigh Stapelton noticed a priest walking around with a gigantic cross on his neck. Would you believe it was the Archbishop of Philadelphia on our plane!!!!! And the sad thing was it took us a half hour to figure it out HAHA. Then it was time to board but my boarding did not go as smooth as I would have liked because as i boarded i dropped my baggage ticket and it flex through the gangway and all the way down outside the plane. Just my luck LOL. But luckily a flight attendant obtained it for me and decided to announce to the whole plane the Matthew Greco we found the ticket you dropped, well I think almost the whole plane was cracking up, even the archbishop. The flight was long and exhausting but it payed off at 8:20 Roman time when we finally stepped foot on Italian soil. Thats all I have for you all back at home hope you enjoyed. Pe@ce out
