Getting Prepped

Okay. So Now that I have set this thing up, I hope that all you guys will be able to keep up with me while I tour Italy. So here are some sad glimpses of my life in the last few months preparing for this little adventure:

Here is a collage of images of Italy on the wall by my bed in my apartment in Gville. I know, so lame, right? I'm a simple person, ok? It doesn't take that much to thrill me.

I finally found a red wine that works: Chianti. Whew, that was close. Wine is the water of Italy.

And I started reading this most helpful book: Italy- The Country and Its Cuisine. Perfect if your going to Italy. Like me :)
