Today is Tuesday the 13th of Jan. and I am still trying to get the hang of this blog site....so I will continue to blog until my fingers can blog no longer. As a re-cap of the past few days:
-Saturday the 10th: Danielle and I went to Middletown to watch my brother Matthew's indoor track meet. He set a few PR's and even broke a Brookfield High School record as part of the Spring Medley Relay team. The meet was ended early because of a snow storm so we left at 3pm.
-Sunday the 11th: My family, as well as my uncle Steven and grandfather went to Manhattan for the day to go to mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. After mass we stopped at an Irish pub for a while and then went to Carmine's (an excellend family style restaurant in the city) for our 2:00pm reservation.
-Monday the 12th: my Mom and I had to go to Manhattan, yet again, to pick up my student visa from the Italian Consulate. When we arrived there was a long line of approx. 50 other students that were there for the same purpose. I met one girl studying in Venice and
guy that will be studying in Milan (at a university down the road from where I will be).
-Today: I am heading to my Dad's office to do some general office help and maybe make a little extra spending cash before heading off in a few weeks. I have finished the book that I was most recently reading. It is called THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY written by Oscar Wilde, and it is one of the best books that I have ever read. A blog entry on the book will be written in the near future.

Hello from Brookfield
Hi Michael, Your dad taught me how to blog you as I'm interested in your travels. Some day I will get to Scotland and Ireland. My trips have been all on Europe's mainland. Like you, I have flown into Malpensa Airport, but left Milan for the countryside because I found the city so crowded and rather dirty. I loved Rome; getting around the city was hard. They are nuts behind the wheel! Get to see as much as you can. I know you have to study sometime. I wish you well. for the countryside. I didn't care much for Milan. I found it crowded and rather dirty
