John was so hungry he even ate a flower, plate decoration and Orla tried to steal the show with her drunken antics.<br>On our last day in Malcesine we went to the top of a really big hill in a cable car, seen some cows and snow, played some crazy golf at a really late hour and had a few drinks with our friends, the last for a while.

Ciao! greetings from the alps! So far our time in the alps has been really awesome. The people here are incredible too. The receptionist, Monica has become a good friend. It's been pretty productive in the short amount of time we've been here too. Last weekend we took a day trip to Verona. We saw a baby colloseum where apparently they play live music in the summer... :) We mainly spent the day shopping but my favorite part was when we went to Juliet's balcony, from romeo ...

... english, told us she had a fantastic time with us and would see us soon. We gave her big teary eyed hugs and said goodbye. The next day was the worst of all. We woke up early to eat breakfast with Dominico and Sarah, Pino's son and his girlfriend. I got a knock on my door telling me to hurry up, Pino was outside saying a quick goodbye before he had to go to the airport.

After exploring the hills we made our way to Garda. The lake ...

... will be leaving too, to go back to their main house in Milano. At 9 we headed out towards Venice and the airport. Since it was now dark we were unable to sightsee. I tried to nap but only closed eyes - one stop for coffee for GP and fuel-(14.08 liters at $20 euros) and arrived at the empty airport at midnight. Maria was reluctant to leave us there alone but we finally sent them off to spend the night at a nearby friends before heading to Milano tomorrow.

... a bit, then walked out to a neighbors, Pina, another exchange student from 1956 like Maria, and husband Umberto. There we drank some Grappa, which is not just wine but a very potent drink similar to schnapps. Eventually they all walked us home and we were soooooo tired and sooooo glad to be back at our bed. Tomorrow is our last day in Italy, and they have a very full day planned again- we will be so ready to get on the plane and get some rest.

... and then drove on further through several small towns to a church where Maria and GianPiero and Maria were married 40 years ago. We walked the grounds and spent some time in the church, then drove on to Castle Toblino, where a bishop lived many years ago, now a restaurant and bar. We were only able to peek inside the castle as there was a big wedding going on. We sat down by the lake for coffee - we had watched a demonstration of coffee ...

We got into Trento just in time to go out to dinner with my colleagues and co-workers because Christy's mother was visiting from Cuba.
