Como

We left Milan this morning...actually this was a relief.  I think one or two days is perfect for Milan.  We may have wanted to do some shopping, but other than that, the people weren't that friendly, and it is a pretty busy/commercial city, so not the ... Read more >

Today we went for an internal tour of the Colosseum. It wasn’t really a tour; it was more of a make up your own version of where things were in the Colosseum because we didn’t want to pay for a tour like Kristi and Alexia. The Colosseum was cool ... Read more >

Italy is like a dream, or a fairy tale. It's so beautiful it doesn't seem real! I finished up the ski season on Saturday with the official staff party- after a week of partying in Meribel after all the guests had left. It was crazy, but a lot of fun.... Read more >
