Ok, a little more on Pisa. Pisa was very pretty It was very terracotta in color. It is the home of Pinocchio and there were little Pinocchio figurines for sale everywhere. There is a river that runs through the heart of the city. Around the old city and the tower/church there is a great wall. I could go back and spend days just walking around looking at everything. There also looked like there could be great shopping. There were little cafés and a lot of baby stores. I loved that there was ice cream about every three feet.
I taught the kids a song:
John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt, his name is my name too.
Whenever I go out, the people always shout, there goes John Jacob Jingleheimerschmidt.
Na na na na na na na
It is a popular kids song and if you have kids you probably know it. So, randomly the littlest kids burst into songs and I have been teaching them English songs. We were in the car and I hear Paolo, the youngest, humming that song. Then, he starts singing:
John Jacob Jingleimers*#t his name is my name too.
Needless to say I corrected that as fast as I could.
Today we drove to Bormio It is again, amazing. We are in a valley surrounded by the largest mountains I have ever seen. They are wooded with great looking ski slopes carved into them. The family I am with skis in the winter so I will get to try them out. There is a little brook that run through the town and it is quite picturesque. The temperature is great and it is just amazingly beautiful.
These were the only pictures I could get out of the window because it was kind of cloudy today. I will take more for the 10 days that I’m here. I will also get a picture of the gigantic amazing lake that we passed on the way up here. I think they said George Clooney has a house there. It is a beautiful spot.
This is the view out of the window. There is snow ont he top of the mountain.
You can see one of the slopes running from the top of the first rise all the way past the house. It is a LONG slope.
This is a random castle on the drive.
This is the side of one of the mountains in Valtillena, Italy. They have cut down the trees and planted acres of vinyards.
