Hello All! We have made the long trek over the ocean, through Amsterdam and arrived last night in Milan. The hotel Demo is only two blocks from the train station, which was nice. The bus to Milan was like arriving in Cancun going to Playa, but in Italy. (Tary, I thought you would appreciate that). We are off today to Vicenza on Moraldo's (restaurant outside of Big Fork)recommendation. Hope all is well at home. Love Kim TA here - okay can I just say that the plane ride took FOREVER, the plane was cramped, my legs swelled and for about 8 hours I could not move! The neck pillow Kim bought me was DEFETIVE! The doohickey that holds the air in kept popping out. Thank gawd for Debeàs DUCT TAPE (and to think, I laughed about ... read more

Ciao ragazzi!! Os escribo con un poco de retraso, pero ando un poco ajetreado...por fin he recuperado mi conexión de internet!! A ver lo que dura. El fin de semana pasado dio para bastante, el viernes pude organizar de una vez mi fiesta de hola-soy-nuevo-en-el-piso y, aunque fue un poco improvisado para lo que suele ser el estilo de vida suizo (sólo avisé con cinco días de antelación...ojo), vino bastante gente. Compramos un poco de todo en el supermercado de abajo (o más bien, hicimos un buen trueque por un riñón, que oiga cómo están los precios, especialmente del género alcohólico): whisky, vodka, martini, agua mineral...(creo que fue idea de mi vecina)...y sobre todo unos 30 litros de cerveza en latas de a medio. Y la gente cuando vino trajo vino (qué redundante a la par ... read more

Feliz cumpleaños a Natalia! It’s my sister’s birthday and I can´t even call her. I already wished her a happy birthday and let her know that I wouldn’t be able to holla at her, but I still feel bad. I can´t believe she´s 26! I used to think that was so old, but now that’s nothing to me. I just hope she had a good birthday. We´ll have to celebrate both of ours when I get back home. Joint party..whoo hoo! We woke up this morning and barely made it in time for breakfast. Even when we say we’re gonna go to bed early, we never make it. Tasha fell asleep early cuz she was depressed, but it definitely took me a while. But anyway, we went to breakfast and it was a step up from ... read more

Maddrid, Milan and Verona I had to wake up early to go get my hair done. It was rough, but I made it. When I got there, I could barely keep my eyes open. Two dryers were going, it was hot, and I was tired. My stylist’s assistant tried to talk to me, but I embarrassed myself. I couldn’t hear over the dryers and then she was speaking Spanish mad fast. I told her I was getting a “derrizo” and I couldn’t understand why she was asking me more questions. Apparently she was trying to ask me if I was going to use the cream. I didn’t know there was another option! This place I went to is really small and it’s more like friends coming in to get their hair done. They do more walk-ins ... read more

Because of the mistake with our flight, our time in Milan was going from the airport on a bus to the train station. Here are the pictures...... read more
