One word - StarbucksGRANDElatte.

Coffee here comes in itty bitty shot, espresso size ONLY. I fell asleep in class today for a fraction of a second and Brinberg saw and I can already tell he’ll never let me live it down.

Despite the caffeine withdrawals/dependency issues classes are great! We are taking Intro to Italian and Consumer Behavior. We use the same room at the Universita Della Svizzera  Mon-Fri usually from 9-4. All of the other students around the university look at us like we have 3 heads but we just laugh at their miniature coffee cups. :) 


Today we took a walk after class to a little town called Gandria. EVERY scene here looks like a computer screensaver. We found a dock to sit on and took pictures jumping. Took a few trial jumps to catch cool pics… and by a few I mean we spent close to an hour looking foolish on the dock. Kelly threw out her neck but I’m CONVINCED it’s worth it for the amazing pic she got :p. The boys had to carry her up the hill in a chair so she wouldn’t strain her neck and we’re calling it her bat mitzvah.  Congrats Kell!

On our walk back we stopped at "Ristorante Antico Gandria" for lunch. The owner was the cutest little old man and quite a friendly fella. He gave me a big hug and kiss and told me he was 21 (through hand gestures). Once again major communication barrier for all I know he could have been mistaking me for a close relative.

  1. I think that guy could be your long lost "Uncle Bernie"! Great pics, you are right, worth any serious injury to get those! The little bitty espresso is worth trying. Why don't you get a container of milk and hot water and bring a mug and mix it in. That is what they do at Starbucks anyway! Ciao Baby! Love Mom
