Hotel Everest Trento

... dorm, the hostel is not really a social place. The communal kitchens are ususally abandoned, and the `games room` they advertise is a basement landing with a foosball machine you have to pay for and a folded up ping pong table. There are conference rooms with TVs but I think you have to book them first, and there is a library but all of the books are in German or Italian as far as I can tell. <br><br>The other day I was walking by myself to find an electronics store along a ...

... Innsbruck. At least this time I was not awoken from sleep and asked where my passport was. Ha ha ha!<br><br>The Innsbruck, Austria area has some of the most beautiful scenery around. Lush rolling hills, quaint old villages and some huge crazy modern bridges. I think it would be great to rent a car and travel around this area. Yet another trip to plan! If I win that SuperEnalotto&#8230;&#8230; I guess I can do pretty much anything I want!

... just stop &#8211; BASTAaaaahhhh!&#8221; I got on the table, yelled at everyone to listen up and led a chant that Grant Schroff and I ripped off from the UW when they were good and used at MHS, that in the G-rated version goes, &#8220;say who, say what, say who says Giants ain&#8217;t bad - err -&#8216;sons of guns&#8217;&#8230;&#8221; Christina was in there capturing everything with her camera and got some great photos. We were in there forever and it was as ...

Departed Dublin around 07:30, first stop Italy for the wedding. Arrived in Malcesine for lunch. Checked into hotel Alpino, a great little spot, right in the centre of the town, chilled for a while then caught up with friends who were already settled in. <br>Weather was a bit of a mixed bag, but we still had enough sunshine to make the most of our time. We got the ferry across Lake Garda to visit Limone for the amazing invisible market and ...

... the second match Ciba and I were shirtless and making quite a scene running around the table and shouting various &#8216;family friendly&#8217; remarks as we missed or made our shots. I won five games to his one, but I&#8217;m sure we will play again soon.<br><br>We went into the center to what I was told is the best gelato place in Bolzano. I was thirsty though so I got a lemon icey drink. We hit the market to grab groceries for dinner. In the market I saw the ...

ANCONA vs BOLZANO<br><br> <br><br>We received the ball and drove the field easily.  I hit a couple passes and then Reggiebusted a run down to the five.  Inthe Bologna - Ancona film we had watched during the week, the Bolognaquarterback scored from four yards out on a quarterback sneak.  I'm not sure if it was because of thator because he just loves to call quarterback sneaks but Tisma tells me to runquarterback sneak from the 5 on first down.  I just wanted to hand the ball to Reggie, he ...

... or good pizzaso I accepted the invitation, then postponed the date a week.  When it go rescheduled for Monday, Istill wasn't terribly excited about this date because trying to tell a womanthat you aren't that interested without actually saying the words is adifficult procedure.  She is a verynice girl, and I didn't want to be a jerk, but the balance between not leadinga girl on and being a jerk is a delicate one.  And I didn't want to be a jerk.<br><br> <br><br>She picked me up ...

... The ref immediately threw a flag for pass interference.  Two players came after me, and instead of taking on their blocks, I just jogged a few more yards off the field and onto RE's sideline.  In a moment I'm not too proud of, I just watched the safety run right past me down the sideline before Reggie shoved him out of bounds at the 3.  I literally just walked off the field and watched the play, Christina's friend showed me a priceless photo of me standing amongst the RE ...

... onto the regional-only line to Trento. Well, regardless, it was really nice to be on a 1st class high speed train for all of 40 minutes! And it was 18 or 19 euros versus ... ok, 4.55. Now we know! Anyway, the train was exciting at first, until it started going up into the Dolomites mountains...then it was REALLY exciting. The scenery was absolutely amazing, and we were all really excited when we arrived in Trento. We went first to the Castello del ...

... choice of who better deserved the money; a heartless capitalistic enterprise or a poor, struggling student trying to make her way in the world. The choice was actually quite simple. The next 7 days were blissful. Though my companion was of the dark side, I soon discovered that not all snowboarders are evil; ignorant but not evil. Together we skied in the glorious sunshine with our heads above the trees. We lunched on Ritter Sport chocolate and wined ...
