Day 3

Snow day! Yeah, so between the fact that is was sunday and, more importantly, it was snowing and Kaity isn’t a big cold person. We didn’t leave the apt today.  Oh well. So started w/breakfast – banana and tea- then watched some Dexter, had lunch (3 cheeses, an asiago, a gorgonzola… and a something else….) with prosciutto. Made a orange lemon bread, also nummy – the oranges here aren’t orange inside. They are pale pale red and yellow with dark red splotches. One we opened to juice was blood red. They are SO tasty though. Bread came out nicely. Had bread and tea, deveined shrimp for dinner, had dinner, skyped Johns mom and then watched more Dexter. Nice day, beautiful snow. Wish we had gone out Oh well. Sure we’ll get to go tomorrow.

Jounally bits! Day 1 (I’ll add pics later I promise!)
Anyhow.

So I got the flights went well, they were good, but sheesh.  I didn’t get much sleep at all  I got about and hour of sleep, got to Amsterdam and was freaked when I realized I the plane was supposed to board in twenty minutes, and leave in an hour and a bit.  Well, actually boarded in about forty minutes and left in an hour, so whatever.  Sat on the plane next to an Ecuadorian man who let me lean over him to take pictures when I wanted and we communicated a little, he knew NO English, so it was up to my minimal Spanish.  And also next to a lady going to an optical faire (right, faire for glasses) in Milan.  She was from a place on the northern coast of south America, I forget the name.  She was quite nice though.

Got in and Milan… customs… either I got it WRONG or they just don’t bother with such things.  Walked out of the plane followed the signs for exit.  Followed the signs and passed though an area where it looked they could put a queue. and then I was out.  Read more...
