'Merica!

Dear readers,

I am so sorry for abandoning you all in Nice! As wifi access got sketchier and the hours I actually spent sleeping decreased, I lost my blogging stamina. I do hope you'll forgive me. Milan was neat, but it really can't hold a candle to Nice in my opinion. All there really is to do is shop and eat pasta. Not that there is anything wrong with those two pastimes, but I'd rather be at the beach eating watermelon and fresh baked bread. While in Milan, we managed to get scammed by gypsies while we were trying to buy metro tickets and caught by the bracelet scam near the duomo. I totally blame Griff for the bracelet incident, but he claims he was innocent. We also did some great shopping, ate pasta, and sat in a lovely park for a significant chunk of the day. I guess you could tack that on to the list of things to do in Milan. We also tried two different places for gelato, but I think the Amorino gelato in Paris is better.

After Milan we went back to Paris for the night, had a great dinner with my professor, and then headed back to our respective countries the following morning. Molly and I made it to America without any delays (except when we were waiting for a gate to open so we could deplane after we had landed)! I seem to have picked up a wicked cold somewhere, and that's what has prevented me from updating this since Friday.

Today is the fourth of July and I am so happy to be spending it in America!

Well, I guess this is goodbye. I might post randomly throughout the summer if my adventures are worthy, but we shall see. Au revoir!
