Hotel Citta Stadt Bolzano

... of those are in this semester. Also, the language centre here offers free Italian and German beginners courses, so I`ll be taking one of those so I can actually communicate with the locals. I didn`t realize the language barrier would be so frustrating! I`m very thankful to have made friends who speak the same language!

As of yet, I haven`t explored any of the gorgeous mountains around Bolzano or much of the city apart from the streets immediately surrounding the hostel. I ...

At 2:48pm the train arrived in Bolzano/Bozen as indicated. Northern Italy is quite hilly with some great landscape for one's viewing enjoyment. I was quite surprised by the city of Bolzano. The very first thing I did was purchase a SuperEnalotto ticket! 146.9 million euros, who could say no? My next train was not until 4:32pm, I went out to have a look at this city. This city is close to Germany and has a huge German influence. That is ...

... in his place. I walked up to him and told him that all the trash talking he did during the game, didn’t mean a thing, the GIANTS won the game. If you are a legitimate players, I’ll let you get away with talking a bit, but if you’re lucky to be in Italy, collecting a pay check for your pathetic play, well – keep your mouth shut.

Reggie busted a run for 22 yards, then I took two knees and the party was on. Tisma got doused, I got ...

... and Edwin Thursday night. I was fine with that but then he called in the morning and said (I think) that the field was occupied so we bagged it, which was also fine with me. Ciba had invited me over for dinner but I couldn’t because of practice. I called him back and so he told me to come over at four. I hit the gym and then drove over to his house. I have stopped riding the bike lately because I believe all the bike riding I was doing has led to tendonitis ...

... change clothes and gel the cappeli (which Ihate doing).

 

I hustled to the bar and finally got there at 10:45.  As always right on time.  We had a good time talking andsocializing.  Since there is onlyone bar that is popular in Bolzano, I was a bit worried that maybe, my datefrom Monday night would be there. But thankfully she wasn't.

 

It took me a bit longer than anticipated, but I have finallymanaged to meet a few girls up here in the Bozen.  And May is gone.

... pounding does not do much to lift your spirits. However every search must come to an end and we were very lucky. The place we chose could not be more perfect. In the small village of Penia the Inn was friendly, good food, quiet and the owner spoke Engish!! He gave us a few ideas should the weather change ... and change it did. We woke the next morning to brilliant sun. After breakfast we headed straight to a gondola ride at Pas ...

... there. Of course anything out of place draws looks, so you turn a few headsriding down the street in this manor.

 

Ciba had to go down with the Arena team to a game in Ferrara(not spelled right), so Christina and I spent the afternoon soaking up the sunat the pool.  It costs five euros,but is a very impressive setup. There are three large pools of varying depths, slides, a whirlpool, awading pool, and plenty of grass to lie out on.

 

We sunned and talked ...

... at left corner. On the ensuing to point conversion, I was lined up on #2, their American receiver. He tried to run a quick slant, but I shaded inside of him, jumped the route, and broke up the pass. 13-12 Lazio. We got the ball with about 4 minutes to go, down one point. Before our final drive, Mario came up to me and said that Marco was open on the short passes and he WANTED the ball. Mario had never said anything like that to me ...

... at once. I saw it happening, Macintyre broke inside on a curl in, but used his body to shield me and I could only wrap him up as he caught the ball. On third and twenty from Parma's own 20 the quarterback scrambled to my side. I was positive he was going to throw it up for Macintyre so I stayed deep with him until the quarterback crossed the line of scrimmage then came up and he ducked out of bounds in front of me two yard short of the first down. They ...

... 30 sharp she is up and ready for her walk. We walked to Christina's work then around downtown for a bit then stopped at Chiba's usual café. We each got a café and a paper. I caught up on last night's international World Cup qualifying games. I also looked at the photos for a perspective hair cut idea, and a picture to show at the barbershop since my Italian wouldn't suffice. I'm trying to grow the hair a bit longer, and decided that since I'm in Italy I ...
