Bonjourno and Ciao!

Well the Schwizz is back from an interesting week in Italy, and I must say, it was quite the circus that I expected it to be. You don't sleep much, you eat a lot of salted cured meats and cheeses, and stuff your face with Pasta and Red Wine/Beer at odd hours.

I will say the Italians have it down. They really just march to a different drum. If they feel like closing up shop for an hour during the day, they just do it. If they want to add a techno beat to any song they feel like it, they do it (think Phantom of the Opera meets Nah Nah Nah, Nah Nah Nah Nah).

The Olympics were chock full of celebs doing shots and dancing/partying. We were able to spend some time with Miss March 2002, who definitely had a hard time keeping up with the other young models she was toting around with. We were able to party with Tom Green who is every bit as weird as everyone thinks. And we were able to see the first daughter having a little too much fun in the mountains of Sestriere.

So with the Olympics going on still, today is my Top 5 things I like about Italy.

5. Marvin Hagler became a movie superstar here
4. No one checks your train ticket, yet everyone still buys one
3. You can buy beer in two packs...i think that is cool
2. The coffee bars are excellent. You can drink the coffee or beer at 10am. Dealers Choice
1. All the girls that wear tiny little nose rings. Its fascinating.


So know I will try to stop thinking everything is 6 hours ahead and get back on schedule. As they say, when in Rome. i still don't know what that means.
