italy/life is beautiful- a world class production

Milano


Boris Bikes, like redbox.. but for bikes! europeans have bike stands and we have movie stands. i'm embarrassed.






the lunch stop in Milano was a suprise, and i found myself wandering around a european fashion capitol in my grunge travel clothes.

jokes Tessa, our tour director, told...
  • In heaven, the swiss would be in charge of organization, the italian would be the lovers, the french would the cooks, and the british would be the well mannered hosts. In hell, the swiss would the lovers, the italian would be in charge of organization, the french would be the not-so-well mannered hosts, and the british would be the cooks. 
  • the snail joke that i can only remind myself of and chuckle about, and can't attempt to write it down because it wouldn't be near as funny as when charismatic, delightful tessa tells it. 
  • the hilarious story about her fat friend eating a donuts off of a man's plate whom he thought left the cafe, and then being caught red handed, chubby, and mouth full when the man came back to finish.
