I am in love with this place!!! I had a great trip getting here too. I took that tunnel that goes under the English Channel. I didn't realize that I would have to sit in my car the whole time, but it was all good. Then I stopped in Saarbrucken Germany for 2 nights to hang out. I also met up with some German friends of mine. Driving through Switzerland was amazing, that's a really beautiful country... when you are not driving through a tunnel ;).
And Italy... absolutely amazing. I am in love. They insist on over feeding me here where ever I go. I just got out of a restaurant where I got some pasta (I asked them to pick because I don't speak Italian..yet) and the lady brings out this HUGE dish. Before that she brings me out some awesome bruscetta. I had to ask for a take away bag because the food was enormous. Then when I started leaving she was like "No, you stay!" and brings out some shot of something alcoholic that tasted like lemon and also some cake a strawberries... it was amazing, she only charged for the pasta. I felt like my family was feeding me when I come home on leave. The people are beautiful, the buildings are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful... it's beautiful here. (I'm still going back to Nottingham a few times though:D )

(y) Cheers, dude, that sounds great. Did you drive past Lugano? It's one of the sweetest spots in Europe. And where exactly do you live now in Italy? Rather in the north?

I'm not sure if I drove past it or not. I will say that I made great time until I crossed the border into italy. I was stuck in a traffic jam until I was almost here. I am in Desenzano. It's in northern Italy, next to Lago di Garda. It's BEAUTIFUL!!

wow, you really do have a sweet spot there. Lake Garda is definitely pretty nice. try and get to Verona as often as possible. I was really taken with it when I was last there. they've got one of the three 'complete' colosseums left in the world amongst many many other things. also go for a drive up the A22 into Trentino, great landscape, loads of nice vineyards and a castle every hundred metres it seems.

Jay U? You mean Jurassic Five? I'll be in Italy in a few months. Maybe I'll drop by for a few beers on my way back north. Really nice area there. Sunny mornings are awesome in that mountains atmosphere. Bu pay attention to your daily calory intake!

I went to a friend's last night for horse steak... yes, horse steak. I had to ask twice for him to repeat it and he said it was pretty common. Then I texted my resident Italian (:) ) and she confirmed that it is pretty common. What's funny is, there is an Italian chow hall on base (for the Italian Air Force) and we usually eat lunch there. I had steak there the other day and my friend that invited me was like "what's the problem? I thought you liked it, you had it the other day at the Italian chow hall!!!":eek:

Anyway, turns out horse is actually pretty good.

I remember when I was in Germany I was dating this Cuban girl and she asked me to pick up some horse at the shop on base on my way home. I was like HORSE?!?! Are you crazy?!?!?!? Americans don't eat horse!!! No one shouldl!!! I like it though :(
