A Few Things About Italy

• Trains are a great way to travel from town to town!
• Casablanca in Italian, just isn’t the same
• Euros are such strange and cool money. You spend “change” and you spend Euros at a time.
• Italian men are just as skeezey as they are in the movies, well they can be.
• The further north you go in Italy the slower they speak, until they start to speak a strange mixture of German and Italian.
• Marble is everywhere.
• You don’t find change on the ground here
• But you do find frescos on every other building if you just look
• If you can find the Arno you can find your way around Florence.
• For some reason people find Florence confusing to get around, “Where’s the duomo?” When the Duomo is the largest building in the city, “You see that huge dome? That’s it.”
• Chinese food here is not good.
• I love the little 3 wheeled ‘cars’ and ‘trucks.’ It looks like only one man would be able to fit, but I’ve seen two at a time.
• Just because it’s a ‘sidewalk’ doesn’t make it safe.
• Wine is cheaper then beer and almost more inexpensive then water.
• Tuscan bread is tasteless and dry.
• Foccacia on the other hand yum yum.
• Tripe should be tried, just don’t think to hard about what you’re eating.
• The measurement etto, is important when buying sliced meats.
• Ciao, is just fun to say.
• Allora, is better.
• There are different types of pizza, regular Italian pizza and panne pizza on bread, both wonderful!
• Meat will go bad the day after you buy it from the grocery store!
