I had a friend invite me to go to the "Armani Silos," yet I had no idea what it was. She said it was the first sunday of the month, so it was free. I couldn't pass down free, plus it was a good excuse to get out of the house and take a break … Continue reading The Armani SILOS

December 26, 2016November 15, 2018Leave a comment

The day I left was difficult. It was my flight to go home. Milan Linate airport was super foggy and thus getting the plane to London took some extra time. We left late, delayed the landing, then also delayed our taxi to the gate. It was a rough 4 hours or so. I tried to … Continue reading Airport troubles and Heading Home

Italian businesses have frustrated me countless times, especially phone service companies. When I'm upset or frustrated, I hardly ever get a response or even feel like I'm valued. Even when I'm not frustrated people just don't try to keep me happy. Take the grocery store for example. If I'm checking out at HEB, usually the cashier … Continue reading A Good Customer Service Experience

I spent a weekend exploring the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. I went to Bologna and Rimini, and neighboring city-state (country) of San Marino. It was a wonderful time! I find that the more I explore Italy, the more I like it. I've realized that the north of Italy just isn't my style. I think of … Continue reading Rimini in the Winter Wonderland

Napoli, Italy (Naples)

November 29, 2016November 15, 20181 Comment

Naples is full of activities, excursions, history, and people. We got there and suddenly found that there was so much to do and so little time. This area of the Mediterranean, overlooked by Mt. Vesuvius, is also covered in geological history. We spent some time at the island Capri, explored parts of mt. Vesuvius, wandered … Continue reading Napoli, Italy (Naples)
