Pasta. Coming out of my ears, nose, and toes.



Pasta. I eat it for lunch. And then for dinner. And then for lunch again. And then, for dinner. Big surprise, eh? The one thing that sucks about pasta is that it is empty carbs - doesn't exactly fill me up - which sucks.

I also tried the gelato here - its good, but not as wonderful as I had imagined. I took an adventure to the lake itself - on the bus, by myself! The bus system was pretty easy, and it dropped me off literally on the lake. As it was a Sunday, it was packed! People all over the place - eating gelato, drinking coffee, basking in the sun. I took a walk along the lake, found a shady spot, and chilled out with my book. The returning home part sucked - buses only leave every hour on Sundays, and turns out I missed the first hour, so I got to wait an hour for the next to come. Whop whop! I am, however, excited to take some day trips to other areas of the lake...

Barbara and I went yoga hunting today. Turns out there is a place right down the street, but I think classes are pretty limited. We forgot to go by tonight, so we will check it out tomorrow. (As well as another place in Como we found online). Finding the little yoga place next door was fun though. Down an alleyway we went, to find a wall painted purple with fairies doing yoga on it. This is my place, I thought to myself!

What else - there is a swimming pool I am going to take advantage of that is only a bus ride away (yea, F*** You public transport in Cali.) so hopefully I will be getting there often.

Besides that not much else is new. Allegra is slowly picking up words in English, Giacamo thinks its funny to try to say words, and well Carlos, he doesn't exactly talk yet.

I keep forgetting to take my camera with me, but as soon as I remember I will post some pictures, promise.
Ciao for now!

  3. I hope you meet some lovely people at the Yoga center. Growing up I always wanted to go to Italy because there were some Italians who would come to the Sonoma Ashram every summer. They were all Yoga teachers and some of the loveliest people I have ever met!
