This trip has resulted in receiving lots of interesting advice about travelling and the countries I'll be visiting. Apparently when you're a homebody people tend to think you won't come home alive. Here's some of the advice I've been given:
- Don't get arrested- thanks Dad
- Don't walk off with strange men (I definitely do that all the time at home, why wouldn't I do it in Europe?)
- It's acceptable to beat gypsies
- Flashing the Pope does not bring you closer to God
- Don't bring home any of the people you've dug up-it's too hard to explain why you have them
- Do not under any circumstance make eye contact with people on the Spanish Steps
- I'll credit Jessie for that one. I'll also give her credit for preventing me from walking off with strangers. You're now my mom's new favorite Jess
Hopefully I can make it to Rome in one piece and I don't get immediately pick-pocketed when I arrive. If I'm lucky I'll get to use some of that advice about the gypsies. Fingers crossed.
Ok Kiddo that is number 1 post, or whatever you call it on a blog. Now get serious and let us know what is really happenin'
ReplyDeleteOk I anm trying to comment so far so good kiddo. lets hear more Ok
ReplyDeleteMiss you sunshine knees! Tell the Pope I say hi... after you're finished flashing him of course.
ReplyDeletebahahaha I just saw this. I'm glad I'm your mom's favourite. Although, let's be honest. There was no competition.
ReplyDelete1) I am your mother's permanent favorite, you shoudn't mislead Jessie.
ReplyDelete2) How is it that I found time to blog almost every day while traveling on a bicycle and camping in tents, and yet you haven't posted a damn thing?
3) Hurry up and come home, I've almost forgotten how ugly you are.
