Today was my last day in Rome and thank God I got my stuff done because I got to go out with Zach to the beach! It ended up just being the 2 of us but it was cool… like I said before he is really growing on me. The first thing we did was [...]

we have been watching either CNN or Italian MTV since we have been in Rome, and I have become obsessed with one Italian song. It’s Michael Jackson ‘We Are the World’ style, and it features all of the major artists in Italy. It’s called Domani which means tomorrow in Italian, and was written to create [...]

Angels and Demons is my favorite Dan Brown book and it is set in Rome, which is where I am! I started reading it again and tonight Rico, Lindsay and I decided to go see the movie. There is a movie theater that shows movies in English with Italian captions. It was amazing to see [...]

Public Displays of Affection also known as P-D-A is very common over in Europe, especially Italy. Everywhere you turn you see a guy grab a girl’s face and start going at it… literally everywhere you turn. In the middle of a Piazza, the bus stop, at the dinner table, in the line waiting to get [...]
Stuff White People Like

there is a book called ‘stuff white people like’ and it has everything from Starbucks Coffee to boy bands… my recent favorite entry is backpacking through Europe. In a country about the size of California you can always spot the Americans. They are the ones with the huge North Face back packs on their backs [...]

Have you ever seen the Charlie Brown episode where they are playing football and Lucy pulls the ball away just before Charlie kicks and he falls directly on his back… that’s exactly what happened to me today. We went to a park with Zach and met up with some of his friends to play ultimate [...]
