Bongiorno

After a 13 hours or so in the air we have finally arrived. Only though after narrowly missed our second flight. All is well though as I am currently typing away in our new flat. But enough of that, I'm sure you will all what to hear about our explotes in beloved Italy.

Our new flat is right in town sqaure of Lecco. Literally, you walk out the door and BOOM there you are right next to all the shops. The food here is absolutely amazing! You wouldn't believe it but I had raw sauasage and bacon... but you know what's even scarier? I actually liked it! Just this monrning I went into town and ate breakfast and then took a ton of photos. The landscape here is absolutely spectacular. Really... I mean I thought that the photos online line were just some touristy pictures taken at the peek of the season. But no, it actually looks like that all year round. Some of the mountains are even capped with snow. The lake looks cold to me, but apparently not the wind surfers who are out there daily. It seems like most of the shop owner are pretty used to crazy amercians who point a lot and talk with there hands. Although it still can be a tad bit difficult to communicate. Later today we will be going to in Como, a neighboring town, so by the end of the day I am sure that I'll have more to blog about. So stay tooned as the adventures in Itlay continue! Ciao.
