ciao ciao

So I'm in Italy. Not without a bit of an adventure. Getting off our plane in Paris, we had like an hour before our next flight left. Well we had to take a bus to get to a new terminal, which took awhile. Then we had to wait awhile to get our passports stamped. Then we had to go through security again, which was super slow. 8 of us showed up at the gate as the plane left, out of a 25 person group. This was at 650am (euro time, so like 1am your time).

Seeing some many cyclists makes me want to ride, so I think sometime i'll try to find a place to rent a bike and go for a ride while I'm here. I checked out the gym here also, which should be fine, plenty of spinning machines, full weights, balance stuff, etc....even a sauna and turkish bath, whatever the latter is. So far I think Europe is pretty cool, and I want a bike to ride. Is about 3pm here, meaning its around 9am there, so I'm gonna try and call my house. Another cool thing is the blogger website is in Italian, which luckily I know a bit of...
