It's a Joke, Laugh!

Ila and I are now in Como, Italy. It is fabulous weather and it was so good to reunite the koalas (my nickname for Marco and Ila) Yesterday we walked around downtown Como and took pictures and window shopped. My flip flops are toast and we are looking for some supportive cute sandals for me. The only problem is Italians have midget feet.

And I want a pair of Birkenstocks that just have 1 simple strap, and according to Italians with midget feet, they are ugly. So thus a dilemna was born.

I think we walked into so many shops looking for the same pair of shoes but when Marco asked the people if they have size 41 or even, gasp, 42, they were shocked and said no. Today we are going to the House of Shoes to look for shoes for giants. I hope we will have better luck.

And after walking around and house-hunting for Villa Carla, we headed back home to rest for a bit. We were going to meet up with Marco's friends for a drink later in town. After dinner we headed back to the city and met up with Alberto and Stefano, two of Marco's friends. We walked around by the lake and since Stefano hadn't eaten, we went to a "Mexican" Restaurant for dinner.

Here is what I learned from that dinner:
Chardonnay in Italy is sparkling.
Pierrina's are tacos, with raw meat in them.

Also, Italians created everything in the world. The wheel? Italy. The Internet? Italy. The United States? Italy.

And then we got onto the topic of making jokes. They weren't translating that well and after every joke that Alberto made, he would look at me and say, It's a joke! Laugh!

Eventually, I got a few of the jokes. And they got some of mine. So we left the Mexican restaurant and came home to go to sleep.

The next few days should be very exciting, considering we are going outlet shopping at Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci and others in Switzerland. It should prove fabulous. Ciao!
