Sara went to cinqueterre last year and stayed at this hotel and they sent her a christmas card and so she called and the owner remembered her so we got to stay there for really cheap!
on the beach I met some Baylor parents who had a daughter in Alpha Chi and it was soo crazy and fun to talk to them. They ended up eating at the same restaurant as us and when i left the dad yelled, "Sic Em Bears!" it was funny because no one knew what was going on when I threw my bear claw in the air.
The next morning we got up and had a free breakfast with soo much to choose from. being a baylor BEAR college student have learned that when food is free...store up for the winter. my baylor friends came to our table and said it looked like a football team had just eaten at the table. ha ha ha.
after breakfast we took a water taxi to the first town (cinqueterre "five lands" is five little cliff towns along the coast) so we went to the first town and hiked all the way thru stopping in each town. it was absolutely gorgeous! we hiked from about 9:30-4:00 and by the end my legs were jello. right when we were getting to our town a really bad thunderstorm came (the thunder was so loud i almost peed my self) i have refused to buy and umbrella since i have been here bc the people that sell them make me angry...and everytime it rains im like...nooo im not going to give in...sooo i got soaked. but i was wet and happy bc i havent bought an umbrella yet.
we got on the train back home and were sleeping when an italian family came in claiming their seats :( we were getting up to leave when i realized that my ticked had slipped and was stuck in between the wall and my seat. i tried everything to get it out, even got out tweezers to try and get it as this family of 6 we waiting in the little train passageway (not to happy) especially bc they had no clue what was going on, they spoke zero english. so i took the tweezers and got under the seat and unscrewed the screws, took the seat completely apart, and got my ticket out...this was about a 20 min process. i was like-does this even happen to people??
we then went to the dining car and sat there for the rest of the trip, got back to Rome and we were so happy to be home. needless to say last night i slept like a baby.

What day was that on? Was the leaning tower recently?? And what AXO's parents were there?? That's really random and cool.
I'm VERY impressed that you could take the seat apart with a pair of tweezers! The question is, did you get it back together for the poor family of six???
Love the pictures! The town and its setting looks so romantic!

Next time you see Tom Hanks, walk up to him and tell him you're Analise Durr and you are meant to be in his movie. Knowing you, he'd probably give you a major role. If you keep having this much fun, you're never gonna want to leave. Not an option! :)
