Yes, I know, I need to post photos
I took over 2000 on my trip I think, so I hope you realize it's going to take a little bit of time to sort through them, folks.
Anyway, I just wanted to share a couple of things I learned from my trip:
- The metro in Rome is actually WORSE than the T. At least when there's a strike. Believe it.
- Americans really are kind of completely ridiculous. Most noticeable on my flights home surrounded mostly by Americans.
- You can never have too much pasta. Or cheese. Or gelato. Or bread.
- Dessert wine is hardcore. Possibly so hardcore I can't even drink more than a sip. Sorry, dessert wine.
- Risotto is something that I should be eating at least once every single day.
- Mosquitos in Italy really really like the taste of my blood.
- You get a lot of credit for attempting to speak 2-3 words in Italian. And then everyone just speaks English to you anyway.
- Medieval Tuscan towns don't get good cellphone reception but they do make delicious ravioli.
- Burlusconi is basically super crazy.
- Italian TV sucks. It's a fact.
More info to follow when I have a chance. Trying to get a lot of stuff done in my regular life right now folks.
Important notices
Notice my new header photo! I will try to put a note here anytime I change it. This is from my trip to Italy last September. We had a lovely day at the Avignonesi Vineyards and Winery in Tuscany.
Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm totally hilarious and mostly all I ever do is get too upset about everything, which is typically entertaining for everyone else.
What's going on right now
We're still working on getting settled at our new condo in East Boston. The living room paint color took four tries and we had to paint the final color twice because we screwed up the wall after the first time trying to put a shelf up. We recently discovered our kitchen sink isn't properly sealed to the counter and leaks. The garbage disposal was also leaking and getting worse. Then it fell off recently and I reattached it, after which the leaks from the disposal stopped. Good thing we're not too scared to do some home repairs ourselves. Someday I hope to decide the place is settled enough to have a long overdue housewarming party.
