So quite the ride its been since I was on here last...spent a week in Barcelona, two and a half days in Roma, and then just finished day 1 in Firenze. Oi Vay. I am insanely tired and fighting a cold. But shoot, I am lovin it.
Some random thoughts...
My favorite food thus far: For sure the Paella in Barcelona, Yummy!
Favorite language to listen to: Italian. Oh man, it is beautiful.
Favorite accent to hear people fight in: British...they sound so stinkin polite its hard to believe they are really fighting.
Favorite language to attempt to speak: Spanish...wasnt as embarrassingly awful as I thought it would be.
Favorite language to actually speak: German...though I am waiting till Germany to really indulge this one.
Fun quotes:
From a guy selling laser pointers pointing them at people in obscene places: "Shaka Laka Boom Boom, you see? Yes, you like, shaka laka boom boom!"
Ashley today sitting on a bridge wall eating gelato in Florence: "I feel like I'm sitting in a postcard."
Guilia and I in the hostel: "Oh my goooaaaahhhhd! Router, netflicks, whaaaaat?"
"The whole object of traveling is not to set your foot on foreign land, it is to at last set foot on one's own country as a foreign land." - G.K. Chesterton...from the wall of our hostel.
Ok internet time is almost up but take care and hope to hear from you soon!
Ciao!
So happy you are getting to see the world, but maybe a bit (or alot) jealous too!!! Yogurt at my desk at work just can't equal gelato on a bridge in Florence....close, but just not quite.... love, love, mom
