Sorry Folks....
I have no goings on to update you about, nor to I have pictures to bestow upon you....but I do have some amusing thoughts...What do you think of when you hear the word Italy?
When people think about Italy, there usually is some thought of random people on the street playing accordions thrown in there somewhere.....I mean its not the first thing, but if you tried to capture the atmosphere of a stereotypical Italian city, I bet you would think of an accordion....well, I'm abandoning that line of thinking because apparently I can't get through to you ;)
moving on...
An accordion seems like a harmless instrument, maybe even slightly enjoyable when you are taking a walk down a random italian street....but here's where the excitement of living in a new country wears off....
imagine if you will....
8am saturday morning....
sounds of a city waking up, birds chirping, people chatting, the occasional car going by.....and us TRYING to sleep....
enter: an accordion player....
who decided to walk UP AND DOWN our alleyway for an unspecified (nor remembered) amount of time, playing all the songs he could think of....
us=not happy
and thus starts the cultural adjustment cycle :)

when I think Italy... sometimes the thought is of a guy playing accordian around people who either enjoy or don't enjoy it. :-) I almost learned to play the accordian when I was little... aren't you glad I didn't? :-)
what are you talking about? i love that guy - in fact, i paid him to serenade you this morning.
