Well, M made it back from Italy. He thought Florence(Firenze) was a pretty town (crowded, in particular full of teenagers L's age, sounds like fun) with Milan being more of a big city. K would've loved seeing all the Ferraris parked around. M thought everyone there seemed slim and in shape, I guess compared to North Americans (that's not good for us).
Ironically, I've been finishing up a box of Laura Secord French and Frosted mints the past 2 days, are they ever delicious. I figure if I have 2 a day? Luckily there are only a couple left.
Going to watch 'The Amazing Race' tonight. Last week's episode was entertaining when this older brother kept calling all the shots, refusing to listen to his sister's valid suggestions and couldn't admit being wrong right till the end when he burst into unexplained tears. Fortunately for him, they were able to stay in the race. Hmm.

Yes Italians are interesting. They would spend their whole pay on clothes than other things. I love Italy. I hope you get to travel there some time. I want to go live there for a year some time. I just like the way of life and the food suits me very much.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Banoffi. M did mention about a Prada shopping mall and his friend blew some serious money on clothes. But even at half price, a nice shirt can run you 250 Euros.
ReplyDeleteI think Europeans are probably slimmer because they have such a walking society. I know we walk so much more here than we did in Texas!
ReplyDeleteI think, too, the Italians dress so nicely. When I was in London last week, I was having coffee in a little shop and in walks this impeccably dressed guy--gorgeous wool coat, scarf, and HAT. He looked like he stepped out of a 40s film and somehow the clothes didn't seem wrong on him. He sat at a table next to me and started to eat his lunch. His phone rang in the middle of it. I am sure you've guessed by now... he was Italian!
good point about the walking Japra, it sounds like a good thing. And who doesn't appreciate someone taking the trouble to look fabulously put together?
