Verona.

So the plan was to spend the weekend there with Aaron.

Totally list minute - I was complaining to dad about how I was bored and he said to me, Jenny - take advantage - travel! So I call Aaron and say, let's go. We booked a hostel and everything. All ready to go except one minor detail. We had not set a time to meet. He was going to look up the train times and text me that evening.

Well the evening passes and I get no text - I send him multiple texts and don't bother calling - I set my alarm early anyways, I think. And I will hear my phone if I get a message so all is well.

7:30 am my alarm goes off. No text. Hmmm. I fall back asleep. 8:30 am. Still no text. I send another and call. No answer. Hmmmm.....

9:30. Okay time to get up. I check my facebook and what do I know but I have a message from Aaron - his phone stopped working and he had taken the train that had left at 9:17. Great. Now I have to catch up with Aaron with no phone.

So, Giovanna rushes me to the train station and I arrive in Milan on time go get the same train that Aaron was supposed to get on to head to Verona. One problem. I do not see Aaron in Milan. Nor do I see him on the train.

A bit later I receive a phone call from guess who - Aaron! He was back in Como - he had not seen me in Milan and decided to head back. Shoot! Well do you want to come to Verona? I ask. No, he does not want to come again. Darn! So off to verona I go, alone. I arrive, find the center, eat some gelato, and walk around. I find the hostel where I was supposed to stay, explain to the woman what happened, and have to fork over my money anyways. It sucked.

I decided to come home at the end of the day because I did not want to spend the evening alone.
So much for Verona! Oh well. Another time I guess. At least I made it....

Coffee

Comes in shots. LIke this. I still don't really get it, but am getting used to it!

PS

So today i get home from yoga and lunch with aaron and guess what I find on my computer?
that it has been messed with by guess who?....Allegra!

Yes, many documents and folders had been opened, and on a draft of an email she had written "jenny bruttissima." which means something like jenny very very bad girl. I was furious! This girl hates me!!!!

I show Barbara and Barbara says she will talk with Allegra. Allegra comes up a few minutes later and tells me that it was a joke.

Yeah right! And Barbara believed it! What the BEEEPPP!!!!!

Mexico.

I really miss it.

I also miss my long hair.

And Dany - who I have not heard from by the way.

I miss the food in Mexico. And my long hair - did I say that already?

Okay, just thought I would put that in.
Ciao

Best Dinner EVER!!!

In Italy, that is.....and you want to know why?

Because I made it!!!

Barbara bought tortillas and I made quesadillas with fresh salsa. It was SO good - and even better - Barbara told me to make her a market list so she can buy the food and I can make it! Yeah!!!!



In fact, I am off to make the list now!

AH, so refreshing - my stomach is soooooooooo happy!!!

Ciao.

B.R.A.T.

Allegra is driving me crazy!
I thought this would be over with.
I say yes, she says no.
She says goodbye. I say hello.
It is ridiculous. I am not sure what to do. I feel like she is out to get me. And getting into an argument with someone when you both speak different languages is not very fun either.
At least she apologized in the end. I am fed up with it though!!!
She has this evil eye - evil glare that actually kinda freaks me out. I think I am a bit scared of her actually. Silly, you would think, to be scared of an eight year old, but so is life!

Anyways, if anyone knows of any B.R.A.T. control for eight year olds hit me up!!!!

Wildflowers, Waterfalls, and Wide Lakes

St. Moritz for you.

But first some pictures to give you a sense...

This one pretty much sums it up.

Just because it's hilarious.

Um. Beautiful?!?!
