...now we're in Munich

Lauren and I decided that Frankfurt was too cold and have started to head south. We are on our way to Italy. Hopefully it won't be snowy there.....I don't think it will. we have a couple of hours to do nothing so we found this internet cafe. As of right now we are heading to Bari....a city near the tip of the boot. We're both tired but we have a cochette booked for our next train so we get to sleep. YAY! There are a few weird things here....such as the "Z" and the "Y" have been swiched on the key board...so it's hard to type without screwing up and also neither lauren or i can find the "at" key. Doesn't seem to exsist (Wait...lauren found it). People are really nice here, when we were at the airport some guy gave us some change....on the train some other guys gave us some cookies (they were also like crackers, so we're calling them chrookies) and when we got to munich a lady came up to us and offered accomodations. The buildings here are awsome. There are the most amazing sculptures all over them I've tried to take a few pictures but it's pretty dark outside and they didn't turn out.

I'm glad that Lauren's here cause I honestly cannot understand anything. But most people if you talk to them can speak english.....in some cases better than us.

I miss everyone already...someone should make a comment

Hi Kelsey,

Europe is an amazing place, it makes me feel like everything over here is too bland and set up with an over-efficient mindset. You will have a great time in your realization of how small - and diverse - this world is. Don't froget to go dancing! BLOG!

Hi Kelsey and Lauren,
Sounds like you are off to a great start. Enjoy your trip and remember...........eat fruit or die!! I think there is a note to that effect on your fridge at home. Well, hoist a nice glass of Italian wine for me....and definitely have some cheese to go with it. Have fun...love Joan Abougucci

Hi Kelsey and Lauren, glad to hear that you are safe and heading south to a warmer place. Kelsey a parking ticket arrived the day after you left. I will pay it so you don't go to jail when you get home.your car tires are both flat on the drivers side, I'll try and get them pumped up. The animals and I miss you as well. Have a great time. Talk to you soon. Bob

C. Cow and chicken! (Lauren is now chicken since it works well that way...perhaps cutlet if she'd like)! Yay for warm climate!!!! I hope where your going is full of hotness...mainly boy hotness but weather is good too! Watch out for those Italians...crazy hooligans with their pizza and gorgeous country. Anyway, pretty soon you'll get caught up in the adventure so just sit back and enjoy the ride! Love ya always, xoxox T.P.

Hi Kelsey
Thanks for sharing your amazing journey. I have never used one of these programs so I hope this reaches you before you return.

Calgary has been just humming with activities this last week. Opera brunch on Sunday, Tango, tappas adn tasting on Wednesday and Yesterday I went to see Pancho Sanchez at the Jack singer - part of the roots and blues festival. It took a little while before the audience warmed up but by the end of the night the crowd was dancing in the isles.

After the show I was still humming and so I went to the conga room. Guess what? Pancho and some of his band showed up there. They jammed for a few songs, Very cool.
I may have to pruchase one of the groups CD's.

As you work your way to Italy I am sure you are enjoying awesome scenery. I can't wait to hear about your adventures in Venice and Florence. I think February is when there are amazing masquarade balls in venice - the costumes should be an experience. One of my favorite museums is a small centre in Venice - the Peggy Gugeinheim Museum - if you get an opportunity it will be well worth the visit.

Have fun, stay safe, and warm.

all good things,
Jessica
