italia
real quick update on things...
we took a night train to venice the other day and had a room that sat six people total. at first it was just us and some chick from seattle, she was cool, and then this italian couple came on, and i think the guy got mad at me cuz i buried my head in my lap and laughed after i said something and i think he thought it was directed at him. he began talking to me and all i said was, "i dont speak french"...but i said it in french, and he was speakin in italian, so i think there was a problem. i ended up just ignoring him and drank my nast sugar water. then that dude went to sleep and he snored soo loud. with that and the awkwardness of the seats, we didnt fall asleep until a couple hours before we arrived.
big surprise when we got there though, as i walked out the train station i heard someone call my name. it was suzie zimmer from school. her and some other people I knew from Masters were traveling as well. crazy times because thats the second time i have met someone i knew. the first was on the plan ride to germany from houston when i saw dexter the soccer play.
venice was pretty cool though. i really like it a lot actually. getting around there is pretty much impossible though if yo uhave an exact place you want to be. it is made up of canals, as all you know, and all the streets are basically alley ways. those alley ways basically made up a huge maze which got us lost, again. but let me warn any of you who are thinking of traveling to europe too...you will get lost too. think its impossible not too. everyone here says they get lost all the time too, so its not just us. but i think for the most part we do a pretty good job getting around.
but we just got into milan last night. i wouldnt even say most these italians look italian. they do, but i guess they arent as dark as i thought they would be. and havent really seen too many good lookin italians either. i guess i have to wait until rome.
anyway, my time is up, ciao
