Last week was SPRING BREAK, wooooo!!! Well, it was more like Fall Break.... but you get the picture. Two of my friends from London and I went to Italia for the week. We left Friday night...
(no Halloween for us ergo no cute costume pictures... Colleen, you need to post yours fyi)
...and flew to Milan. Got in late that night, had to walk around in the rain to find our hotel... not the best start, but the next day was gorgeous and we had a great time exploring the city. On Sunday we went to Lake Como, GORGEOUS, I bought a house. No George Clooney sightings which was a shame, but it was still great. Then Monday morning we got up at 3am so we could catch a bus to the airport to catch our flight to ROMA at 6. Rome was amazing. The Pantheon is still my favorite sight, it is SO COOL!!! Its hard to believe that so much of Rome was built SO long ago... its ancient. We stayed at this great hotel where we met up with another one of our friends from London. Did 3 days of hard core sightseeing and on Wednesday night took a train to Florence where we relaxed until Saturday. All in all it was a great vacation, a little hectic at some points and I was definitely ready to come back to London where I didn't have to live out of a suitcase and knew the language. But I am for sure going to miss the food and wine!
So now Im back in London, back to the daily grind (which isn't so bad when your in london!!!), looking forward to Yoli's visit next weekend, Thanksgiving, and a few day trips out of the city (Stonehenge, Bath, and Brighton). It's getting cold and today we are going to see the lights turn on on Oxford Street, YAY Christmas season! I've already started listening to my music... too soon???
MISS YOU, xoxo Mel.

FYI, the official Xmas music start date is Sunday after Thanksgiving, so a little early. Hope you have staying power for this long of a period! Nice photos of Italia!
PS Is that George Clooney's yellow house on the water?
no. thats the house i bought.... hehe.
Also, I for sure have staying power. No worries. And its not a constant thing, its only occasional. Like, once an hour or so....
Rachel got your postcard and says thanks! Tomorrow (Sat.) is my 1/2 Marathon, I am psyched. Forecast is for rain, but I'm hoping for the best.
