Hey all! Am having heaps of fun here in Italia, home of mountainous, um, mountains and lots of tunnels and me kinda knowing a smidge of the language and tarellis and mosquitos and Italian people and pesto pasta! Can you tell I am excited??
I am feeling very excited by being in Italy. I had no idea i would feel like this! It is kind of like I have come to the mother country even though I am not Italian. Maybe in my heart... heh. Anyway, am super pumped to be here.
Have spent the last couple of days in the French Riviera, which was awesome! So pretty, so blue, so lazy... did I mention it was awesome? got some great shots and went to Monte Carlo! I didn t have a flutter (I like my money too much... even tho I bought alcohol that was, ahem, a little expensive) but I did admire all the Bentleys and Ferraris and Lambourghinis that were parked out the front. Even the taxi was an audi!
Oh, and I finally had my cake and coffee in France! They weren t together, but still. The coffee was weak as piss (but so very French!) and the Pane au Chocolat (or Chocolate Crossaint) was awesome! It wasn t until today at the truck stop that I had my first real coffee in a month and a bit... it was so delicious, I think I experienced angels singing and gold dust falling... Garry, can so understand how you became addicted to the stuff!
Will try and upload some photos... nope, photos don t work! will have to try somewhere else.
baci baci to you all and I will post again soon!

Are you SURE you're not Italian?
Very happy to see you're having a joyful time. I can completely relate to the coffee experience, except my angels and gold dust arrived when I had a good ol' fashioned english tea.
News from Adelaide.......
That's about it.
Love and hugs, Kylie

If you're in Rome on a Thursday...look out for gnocci night. I had the best gnocci in a little restaurant in a back street somewhere in the centre of Rome. Sounds like you are having the time of your life and i can't wait to see the photos (I completely understand your troubles though)
love paula
Caution
The Italians are a complicated bunch and should be interacted with very carefully. I shall pass on my own words of wisdom to enlighten you. Generally the Italians are an exceptionally tall bunch (around 6 ft) and have a tendency to collect antique glass (hello old Avon). Some have a penetrating bellow and can move crowds just by saying “BAKERS DELIGHT”. Many collect bizarre animals, namely malnourished canines and are attracted to George Clooney and orange objects. Oh and some especially the young males just don’t give a dam.
Please, please take care.
Oh and how dare you consume Cheese and wine on a massive structure without me.
Love you lots and miss ya heaps
