Ciao Bella
Italy was amazing
the first night we left we spent one night in the italian part of Switzerland at Andys sisters house. It was nice. she has 2 really cool dogs. Then the next morning we headed out. It was an all day event... only because we stopped to see the Leaning tower of Pisa. Which was sick. SO Cool. We stopped there and had ice cream and mainly i just took a bunch of pictures. sad to say i did not take a photo of me pretending to hold the tower but oh well. Matt and Mitch had said to me before that there was an amazing church right beside it that no one gives notice to. And there totally is. It is just magnificent. then after we headed to our condo place. i am sorry i dont really know where it was but it was 200 feet from the beach. we spent every day there. i got sunburnt the first day. but then i was smart the rest of the week and was doused in sunscreen.
i am sorry this is not going to be a long post but sometimes it is like work to right a blog.
each day we would spend half the day on the beach. then we would go get ready for supper. it was cool because every day andy would drive us somewhere different. like a half hour to another town to explore. I have seen a lot of cool buildings and churches.
one day we went to this park created by Nikki de Saint Phalle. which was SO cool
she has these huge scultpures. and they are all made out of cement and then peices of tile and mirror. her house was on the inside made out of only tiny pieces of mirror. and she actually lived there for 10 years. then she said that when she died to leave her art as it is. do not finish it. It was the neatest thing.
the last day of our trip we spent a night and a day in florence. i LOVE florence. The italian shoes. gah. they have all those people trying to sell you knock off stuff. i am sad to say i didnt not buy anything in italy, but i had a blast we went in florence to the dome which was really cool. then we walked up this tower that had 414 steps. when we got to the top the view was AMAZING. i took many pictures.
for those of you that want to see pictures.. well i have tried for the past like 3 weeks to post pictures but every time i get to the end of facebook it says unexpected error which is REALLY REALLY starting to piss me off. so instead. there might be a whole bunch of blogs with just pictures.
this weekend is a rotary weeked. which is in olten. we were suppose to get sponsors and stuff but i didnt decide to go until right now.
what happened was. i was changing homes and then didnt have internet so i couldnt register. then i emailed an admin and she registered me. then i thought i was going to be in italy so i said i couldnt go. and now.. i see that i am here and i want to go. so that is what is happening with that.
i hope i dont have to do anything special for it.
the sponsors were suppose to buy like a ticket. and then the ticket buys you a place on the grass
and all day you watch this cow. and if it poops in your spot you get money.
some sort of cow bingo or something.
i duhno. i am kinda nervous if i am suppose to have done something to go. but i will ask Jill tomorrow. she is also an exchange student from Canada on the French side. we are going to luzern
OH. ALSO. after pisa we went to see Frau Grilla. or something. She used to work for andy in the factory making underwear. and now she has moved back to italy with her husband. soo ridiculous. they were incredibly italian. I ate genuine italian sphagetti and meatballs. we were there for so long! she was really a cute woman her and her husband!
i also.. when we were in florence. at night. if you walk literally 3 steps behind a adult looking figure. you get bombarded by italian men.
one asian guy on his bike drove past me winked and raised his eyebrows as we drove away. he was like 35! so gross!
today i went and bought some new stuff. YAY.
other then that not a lot is new.
Really really really craving my moms turkey.
really sad i am missing halloween.
if you are reading this. please leave a comment.

What can I say, but when I scrolled to "mom" on the beach - huge smile on my face! THANK YOU!
The tower of Pisa is a wonderment to see in your photos! You look wonderful Bella Jerrie! Sounds like Italy was incredible for you!
Don't really think that you needed to touch the "golden Pig"...as you are already the most luckiest girl in the world right now!....You've touched a lucky pig AND a cow! What an incredible journey you are on!
when I checked it out, and say the "mom" in the sand, I smiled as I knew it lit up your mom's face. I could literally see it across town! Great blog. Can't wait to hear about your next adventure! - Melissa
Why didn't you buy one of those purses behind the Lucky Pig?
Hehe! Jerrie.. I touched that pig. Only difference? IT WAS SOPPING WET AND FLORENCE SMELLED LIKE SEWAGE, AND THEN I STEPPED IN SEWAGE AND MY SHOES GOT RUINED AND SMELLED LIKE SEWAGE FOREVER. rainy day.
Still fairly enjoyable.. dunno if the luck thing is legit no more tho :P teeheehee.
Oh Italian men. they would love you! you cute little blonde running around italy.. awe so cute:) hehe...
<3 Hope you are having fun! I can not believe it is already October!! I wanna send you a Christmas present and be your very own, personal Santa. Perhaps I will give you a stinky bum since you smell so bad =) hehe love you!
ps. why did I say "hehe" SO many times in that blog? I don't even have a laugh like that i am more BLAHAHA.. I was just trying to be cute ok.
Oh Pumpkin...so nice to hear from you again and to read more of your adventures...I admit I too was drawn to the purses behind the pig. You look absolutely gorgeous...but then, you always do...I'd never expect anything else. The "mom" in the sand made me SO happy. You'll have to frame that one Leanne!
Love Carrie
