Sitting in postcards...

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!
