Annnnd Im BACK. It is very difficult to update my blog from my phone so I waited for computer access. So, lets see... Paris was wonderful. Alexa is a super mom and Avital is beautiful. We went running almost every day and passed awesome sites and then drank wine and ate cheese and prancedParis as we caught up on life. I then went to Bordeaux where I enjoyed a solo hotel room and some serious Jax time. Bordeaux is BEAUTIFUL but I recommend one know French. Or at least some... I then left Bordeaux to meet Aunt Jeri in Madrid, one of my highlights of the trip, and my transfer train was cancelled in Poitier AKA nowhere France.

WOW. Four days without internet... Interesting. So, I came clsoe to retiring in Sorrento. This was my Sorrento trip: Arrive Sorrento after double kisses all around, there was cheese, salami, pizza and beer. Then espresso and dolci and then all different fruits grown by the Staiano family with homemade limoncello. The next morning, I wake up to a beautiful view of Mt. Vesuvius out my window and was greeted with espresso and biscotti and then met the newest family member, Ricardo. Went home for lunch- left over pizza, bread, cheese, salami with wine followed by penne arrabiata which was followed by something similar to chicken francese with a salad side.

It has started to snow in Rome. The city does not handle this weather well from what I hear. Last week 5 inches shut the bus system down for days. My last day in Rome today so I am just hanging low. I have revisited everything and done everything I wanted. I met a really cool South African couple last night who I ended up having dinner with (after confirming they werent swingers since, unfortunately, Ive had this problem in the past). Anywho, they were fun. After dinner I brought them to the little pub I used to hang out in and watch baseball and it was PACKED with Americans and screechy girls (for my UES people- I felt like Salooners had found me in Rome). I guess word got out about the place, quite disappointing. ... read more
