That is the question?!

This is the first day of the rest of your existence? I've been movie gazing for days now. I can highly recommend, "Bend it Like Beckham" a movie about an indian girl that desperately wants to play football soccer and her parents don't think it's right for her to be a sportswoman. I laughed, I cried... (well, not really). It was a good way to spend two hours of my night though. I also watched a french movie called 8 Women by this up and coming french director called, François Ozon who is really hot right now. He directed the movie "Swimming Pool" which I really want to see. I also saw "Bowling for Columbine" and LOOOOOOVED IT! Mike Moore does great in this documentary about the Columbine high school Massacre and about gun violence in the United States. God! If you haven't seen it do yourself a favor and rent it or buy it. Oh yeah I'm supposed to continue my Europe story. But you know what? Let me do a recap instead of a detailed day by day account of my summer there. First Barcelona, I had a great time once I got a hotel and after that I had to get a ride to Girona which was an hour away. The reason being that my flight to Milan was leaving from that airport. Yeah, Ryan Air, cheap airfare but not without a catch... The airports they land in are far away from the city. For example, If you have to go to London, they'll fly you to London for a cheap prize but after that, you have to pay a lot of money in a taxi to take you to the actual city. I learned my lesson. Cheap is not best most of the time. Florence was awesome but hot!! Fortunately I met my friend Mimi there, and we hung out a lot. She stayed in my hotel room for 4 days. It was good to see her. She's one of my best friends from back home. One night we went to Rome, to dine at this awesome restaurant there called: The Supper Club. We had a great time and returned in the 5am train to Florence. Needless to day that day I didn't quite make it to class... I love Florence but I vowed never to return in the summer. It's too stuffy, which limits how far I could walk per day. Otherwise I spent a lovely 10 days in Florence and then back to Barcelona for 3 days and then home!!! I was homesick... It was the first time I'd travelled without having my mother- not even at the other end of a phone line to tell her about my trip. I missed her too much and I missed home so I changed my ticket to go home earlier and planned to go to NYC with my boyfriend and his parents.
But that's another story that I'll have to tell later on...

Until then,
ciao!
IYC.
