... Make sure you're careful when boarding trains though!<br><br>Bolzano is incredibly beautiful. It was part of Austria before the war and culturally I'd say its closer to Austria than Italy. The people are more friendly, German is spoken more than Italian and it is way more relaxed than the south. The over-dressing I saw in Rome and Milan is not there either, or mostly not, although people here still dress pretty conservatively. Bolzano is also cheaper than the south, no ...

... off of them. Looking at all the hills around, this might be a great city to go hiking in! On another trip I will have to try and spend a couple of days here, for it looks to be a very busy and interesting place to visit!<br><br>I am not sure what it is with me and trains on this trip! I was in a nice room with a couple of guys, who got off at one of the many stops and then who comes in??? The Austrian police with some guy they are dealing ...

... br><br>Let me put this win in perspective for you. No one has beaten Bergamo in the playoffs since 1997. For Panzani and some of the older guys, drawing the Bergamo side of the bracket in the last decade means that you won&#8217;t reach the Super Bowl. Meeting Bergamo in the Super Bowl? Well that means you had a good season, but now they go home with the trophy.<br><br>We finally got off the field and into the locker room - it was bedlam. Jugs of vino ...

... to make the guys around him better, and most of all trying to win games, you should respect and embrace that. Those are the guys who are going to elevate your program and win you games.<br><br>At CU our OC plain didn&#8217;t know who his guys were.<br><br>We had a center that for 9 months of the year was strictly a party hearty frat kid. He didn&#8217;t work out, he didn&#8217;t associate with the team or go through spring ball. Once football season rolled ...

... kicking the PAT.  We went into halftime up 27-21.<br><br> <br><br>In the second half we shut Ancaona out.  Their quarterback was playing with ahamstring injury and essentially couldn't run.  Finally we managed to slow down #28 who finished the gamewith a scant 300 yards receiving.<br><br> <br><br>Cloche scored from 12 yards out in the third quarter and Iran in a touchdown from three yards out. Behind the each end zone there is a big mural with a large blue and redG-I-A-N-T-S painted ...

... far in looking out and taking care of hisguys (look at the Giants car or apartment we've been given).  Reed likes to say he gives us theminimum and expects the maximum and for the most part he is right, but at theend of the day I'm out in Italy collecting a check to play football, so I trynot to sweat the details.<br><br> <br><br>In other new, Edwin (who I am now getting along with verywell) had informed me that a girl (whom he didn't really know outside ofFacebook contact) from near ...

... to be.  He dominated everyone that tried to block him in that game before he was hurt.  At 6'3 240 now he is an athletic specimen.  If he would have had it together when he was younger or a better work ethic now, body type and athleticism wise, he maybe could have gotten a shot in the league.)   I am writing a good amount and reading more than I have in the last five years which I love, but at the same time it's just a big transition from living in Southern California with ...

Sunday May 10th VS LAZIO - A Match of Grande Importance The Lazio Marines (Lazio is the region Rome is in) are sitting in second place, having only lost one game, like us. We woke up ate, and got to the stadium. I felt great in warm-ups and was very excited to play. It was a warm day, sunny and the temperature on the field must have been about 75-80. I expected it to be a high scoring affair with our defense struggling (injuries had ...

... a bite. It wasn't bad but it was fish so we quickly exchanged meals. Mike had gotten something similar to flank steak, I had a deep fried steak and the calamari they ordered never came. We polished off some mediocre tiramisu, paid the bill and headed back up the cable to call it a night. Monday We woke up to what reminded me of an ugly San Diego morning, everything was gray and cold. We wandered the town looking for a suitable place to get a café. I vetoed the ...

If you have been following my travel blog you might find a trend developing. At the beginning of every trip something always seems to be off or go wrong. Perhaps this is an unavoidable trend that is just a part of the "excitement" of traveling, or perhaps a trend that is evidence of poor planning on my part. I like to think that it is one of those Freudian slips, a trick that your subconscious plays, that at the time seems horrible and wrong ...
