Quick, Italy by the numbers:
Times I...
ate pasta in a week: 5 (consecutively, only to be broken by gnocchi with tomato sauce), finished the week with 2 days of pizza...
tiramisu 4 (including one day of it for breakfast and dessert, 5 if you count the tiramisu-flavored gelato...)
gelato: 3 (current favorites, nocciola-hazelnut, pistachio, and coconut, and tiramisu, which you can get in combo if you go for the grande 4-scoop)
churches visited to view sculptures, tombs, architecture, etc: nevermind, I lost count, Duomo in Milan and San Polo (where I attended a concert, a choir singing solemnly at sundown Saturday) in Venice are two notable ones...
played dodgeball: 3; capture the flag: 2; the ballgame (okay, only sister knows that reference): 1 (first successful international export of the game invented as a kid)!
sang World Cup song: 5-6... (Waving Flag, which is quite catchy) other music that's made up the soundtrack of this trip so far - "waka waka eh eh" by Shakira? also for World Cup, and Super Mario Bros tune (playing with Marco, my 9-year-old host brother - I passed Level/World 1 of 8... okay, I was still alive when my partner completed it).
Arrived in Milan, Italy on Sunday, June 6, 2010. Currently in Cassano d'Adda, north of Milan along the river that separates what Venezia controlled from what Milano controlled in centuries past. More about my visit to Venice, Verona, Milan and San Remo in next post. Back to camp tomorrow, must rest.
