angels

All of Florence is now swathed in Christmas garlands and decorations. Angels are peeking out from store windows, which are covered in a thin layer of frost. I can't believe it. It is the middle of November, and already Christmas stuff is all over the place. It is worse than the U.S., I guess because they don't have the buffer holiday of Thanksgiving to commercialize between Fall and Christmas. Oh well. It was kind of nice, walking back from Oliver Twist last night at the Odeon and seeing all of the Christmas trees in the windows lit up. It's funny, though, because although Italy is a Catholic country (they have the Pope, for crying out loud), no one goes to church. Oh Italy.
I still can't believe I only have a month left! A day less than a month, actually. Marzia mentioned it today while her and I were eating dinner (Orsejda was working on a paper). It made me kind of sad. Jonathan called me today to make sure I was still going to Barcelona... Of Course!!! Silly Jonathan. I can't wait to see him, and Spain. Never been there before, I'll have to be sure to get a stamp on ye olde passport. Did I mention that we got a stamp in Switzerland? I don't think they usually stamp passports when you take the train, we didn't really go through customs (although they keep your passport overnight). However, we wanted a stamp, so, in Lauterbrunnen, we went up to this random guy who was working in the train station and asked him if he could stamp the passports. So, he did. It was great. Much cooler than my Forli stamp. Anyway, I have all my pictures up on my kodakgallery site. Finally. Aaaand, I need to search for flights to Paris... They are so expensive. Blah
Ciao
