hello all! we are coming right down to end of it folks. probably only a couple more europe blogs left........ thats a weirdly sad thought. but the plus side will be that i will actually be able to talk to you all face to face instead of keyboard to keyboard :)
lets see.... yesterday i got a bit of sun. whoop whoop! we layed out for a good 3 hours and i got a teeny bit of tan..... but a teeny bit is better than none i guess. today i wasnt able to lay out because i decided to take a day trip to pisa to snap some awesomely touristy shots of me pretending to hold up the leaning tower of pisa ;) its a good thing that we just made it a day trip because there is a whole lot of nothing in that city other than the tower. but it was nice because i went with the "party like a rockstar" girl lindsay. she was leaving cinque terre today to head to naples and i needed to go to la spezia which is a major train station to book my trip back to paris. so she decided that she had some extra time to make go to pisa with me. so that was a double bonus because #1 at the train station she pointed out that they sold magnums bars which i havent really been able to find. so i ate one in honor of marci and sarah's request even though it was 10:30 in the morning. gotta love double chocolate ;) and #2 we took the cheesy pics of each other leaning against the tower so i didnt have to ask a complete stranger. good times :) i was supposed to go to pisa with this american guy in my room but he turned out to be uber annoying and i really wanted nothing to do with him. he ate all my pasta last night while we werent in the room (ummm, who does that??) and then this morning accused lindsay and i of eating this other girls bananas. ummmm, sorry bud but i dont eat other people's fruit....lame. so i wasnt really in the "travel buddy" mood to spend the day with him.
so all in all today has been excellent. the weather has been great, sunny but breezy so there should be a great sunset tonight! holla!!!! and we ate lunch at a kebab place which rocked. oh yeah, and i played tetris on my iPod on the train ride back from pisa and set a new record!! and i was so intense that the tip of my thumb actually went numb......... lamely awesome i know ;)
tomorrow if it is sunny, no matter if its breezy i am gonna hit the beach (and by beach i mean the rock hard cliffs) to lay out ALL day!! and i am also going to hit up the pizza joint that jennine recommended. i cant get enough of their pesto here (well now i can because some lame american ate all my pasta) so pesto pizza has to be a good second best :)
i think thats all to really report on. on the 16th (here's an early happy birthday to my very own MAMA!!!!!) i will basically be on trains from 10:40am to 11:30pm getting back to paris. hopefully i will be able to make time for one last nutella crepe the morning of the 17th before heading to the airport. i mean, i have priorities and all ;)
have i said that i cant wait to see everyone, because if i havent - I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE!!

I can't wait to hear if you like the pizza. Gail and I both loved it so that is why I highly recommend it. Enjoy.
Whoop whoop. My Irish tan lassie is topping off the glow on the rocks and scarfing up last minute Continental calories.
Can't wait to get a final report on the return airline food.
Enjoy every last minute!
I can hardly believe you are going to be home tomorrow!! I can't wait to see you and start running together (okay I am totally not prepared to run, but totally prepared to talk while we run in that out-of-breath-sort-of-way)!! :)
Sure am glad Jodi is coming home... 'cause then maybe she will find the time to POST THOSE PICS!!!!
