in case you forgot how much better my life is than yours

so friday was the most amazing day again. we went to subiaco, where st. benedict started his first monastery. that was nice and all, but then we went to cervara which was AMAZING. its this little shepherding village thats built on the side of one of the apenine mountains. there aren't even roads in it, just cobbled walkways. you have to park your car down the mountian and then hike up to the town. we ate lunch there at this really cute, authentic restaurant. listen to what davide

Oh No!
NOT THE S PIN! Of course, I will find you another one. I'm going to Gap sometime soon because I think they have a coat that I want. Do you want it asap or when you get back? Either way is fine with me. I'm glad you're having such an amazing time. By the way, the Julie Andrews comment, Hi-freakin-larious. I laughed hard. Maybe it was the mental image of you in one of those Nun outfits dancing and singing on hilltops. Yep, it's funny. I love you, girl.

on my way to school
Today I was on my way to school, and I saw a girl who looked amazingly similar to you. I think it was her hair mostly that looked like yours. But it made me happy,because I thought of you.

[Megan again]

HEY HONEY!! Quick question: How do you pronounce Apenines? I know that I've been mispronouncing it for YEARS and would like to be edified. PLEASE HELP! Signed, Ay-pen-in-knees
