Parma

another terrible train experience. When will we learn our lesson? This time I hope. But basically we got approached by a creepy older gentleman who would not leave us alone. Then another one showed up, left, showed up again this time with pizza and beer. First time one of my traveling pals wouldn't go because she didn't want to be rude. The second time I nabbed her junk so she had to come with me. I will tell you in person if you want, but I have had little and very terrible sleep as I got in this morning at 8am and didn't sleep all night. But we managed to find the most awesome park area full of chillin' college aged kids. Thank goodness. And Emanuel, Ricardo, Dominico and the fourth one (sorry Buddy, I don't remember your name!). They talked to us from 2-4 in the morning and showed us the towns Duomo (well, the outside of it at least). They were very nice and we appreciated their company after the Creeper incident at the Train Station. Bleck.

Oh, just so voi (we you in intalian= you all) knows, this was during the 5 hour layover from Venice to La Spezia. Venice was awesome. We just wandered the streets and shopped. It was amazing. I spent more money that I would have liked to have in a month on a normal basis.... but this is Italy and damn it I deserve to splurge sometimes too! (although I was still stingy.... old habits die hard.) I got a rockin' bathing suit out of the trip too.

All you girls are getting awesome souvenirs by the way. But better love them or I will shank you. It's a promise. But seriously, I put a lot of thought into them and I hope you enjoy them!
