Day 3-Fly, just eat the cheese...

This morning, we were woken up by housekeeping. We had totally forgotten to put the "do not disturb" sign on the door. Boy, that was fun. Buongiorno!
Today went well. We had missed breakfast, which seems like what will happen more on this trip if we keep sleeping the way we do. However, we did make it to lunch (FINALLY!). The Dinner and Lunch menu are the same. I didn't write that we did go to dinner last night. I had an Angus filet and big potato fries. This was soooo good! I couldn't eat all of it, since my stomach had shrunk from not really eating since I came to Italy. I also ordered grilled veggies, but didn't eat them since there was a fly who loved them a little bit more than I did. I was feeling extra generous and decided not to shoo him away.
Getting back to today, for lunch I had pineapple and cantaloupe (I actually wanted ham and not cantaloupe, but with the language barrier, I let it slide) and I had the standard Penne pasta with some marinara type sauce and basil. They also gave me some cheese on the side, which I used. The flies were swarming like crazy and landed on the cheese after I took what I wanted. So like the day before, I let them have the cheese. But if they came near my food, I was going to smack them silly!
Tim had to go to work today for a second, so I stayed in the room. It was soooo hot outside, when Tim came back he was soaked. With that in mind, Tim and I decided to stay in and watch some episodes of Californication.
Shortly, we will be ordering room service (from the same lunch and dinner menu). I'm actually excited for tomorrow. We are getting out of this hotel room and staying at a hotel in Tornio for the night. One of Tim's work friends, who speaks very good English, wants to take us out. Fingers crossed, I think this will be good :)

  1. Steph, I love reading your blog. Isn't Italy beautiful. You will love the beach. I thought the food was delicious. It is hard when nobody speaks English. Things are crazy as usual at work. The vouchers are all gone thank heaven.
