Well today was another lazy day here in Italy. We were bumbed that the weather was going to be wet and rainy all weekend so when the sun came out today we jumped at the chance to catch the train to Castel Gandolfo (hope of the pope) to go to the beach/lake and get tan. We hopped on the train and the girls said it was a downhill walk to the beach... to me it seemed like we walked forver but once we got to the beach I was so happy to see sailboats and water (It reminded me of the summer days at home). In italy, no one lays on the sand, they all pay for chairs so when the italians see 10 american girls layout their towels on the sand they all just stare... its weird they stare at us for that but then we get to stare right back at them because the chairs they lay on arent even on the sand, they are on the grass parts of the park. Its weird to see grass with lawn chairs set up at the beach. Well we laid out for most of the day and then a couple of us took the train back early so we could walk the 1/2 mile to the supermarket to get stuff for our mexican night (going without mexican food for 2 months its surprisinly easy). Well our taco's were a sucess. And just as a side note to connect my wierd blog title to this post... 7-9 miles of walking in 1 day is pretty normal here in Italy. *thats how people here stay so skinny... you eat a ton of food and then you walk literally everywhere you want to go.. uphill and downhill all day long.*
