Update.

So, obviously I haven’t written anything in a while. In fact, I’m going to be hard pressed to remember the names of the towns we’ve been to recently. I’ll do my best. After Rome, we went to Milan… We were NOT excited to go there, but I’m so glad we did! We gave Milan a second chance and it did not disappoint. The duomo there is really amazing, and we found a fun little English Pub were Jay and Kay spent most of their time…they showed soccer and rugby games, like England v. Scotland. Jay is from England and Kay is from Scotland, so you see, it was a good rivalry. Caroline and I also took the train to fair Verona and had an excellent day! We heard about this pass on the train that costs 10 euros, and then you can get into tons of museums and attractions for free. We went to the arena, to Juliet’s house (she’s a fictional character. I still don’t quite understand why she has a house, but we took some great pics on her balcony! I also sent her an email. Ha.), some ruins with an amphitheater. Then we went on Sunday to Lake Como (see below) and then north of Milan to a small town I can’t remember. But we stayed in a B&B called Magnolie. It had the BEST beds, and the most hilarious owner. She actually had a OCD problem I think. She was really upset when we were moving in, and kept telling us where to put our bags, etc. We were there for 4 days, and the first day we came back and found she’d gone through Kay’s bag to find what she thought were better PJs for her to wear, and folded them on the bed for her. She picked throght our dirty laundry and folded it for us. Weird. Which is why, on the last night we were there, it was particularly bad that I spilled RED WINE on my white sheets. Ugh. But we found a magical bleach product that took the stains right out. Dried and ready to go in the morning before checkout! Then I’m not entirely sure where we went…Maybe back to Milan for a few days…Then eventually we went to this amazing B&B also called Magnolie in Civitanova. It was on a hill overlooking the sea! We were there for the weekend, and it was about a 5 minute walk to the beach. The owner was a young, super friendly woman who was so helpful and cool! Then we went to a place somewhere near Bologna maybe…can’t remember. But then we had a longgg drive to Rome because it was time for SPRING BREAK! Which should probably be it’s own post.
