ciao! ciao!

What a day! Our last night in Denmark was exhausting! We went ice skating during the day in beautiful weather, 20 degrees and sleet...

Followed by an enormous dinner at a cute little danish restaurant.. After dinner we went back to the same disco that we were at the night before, "The Social Club." It was a lot of fun to dance and sing to music like... backstreet boys, the baywatch theme song, and other real classic American tunes. Im pretty sure they just have one aweful play list that runs continuously every night. Horrible! It is also interesting how they have free beer hour from 11-12 at night, that seems a little dangerous!






well, the night ended around 5am again, and we all went for pizza. I dont think I will be able to adjust to the european lifestyle of starting the evening at 1am and ending it when the sun comes up! Especially when I need to be at the bus stop for 7am to make it to Milan, yuck. We got to the bus station just in time to catch the bus which took us to the airport. The ride was about an hour and 45 minutes, and the plane ride about 2 hours. We took Ryan Air... Europe's version of Southwest, but just a little more cattle-like. We literally ran from the terminal to the plane to get a good seat! ...and there was no food or drinks on the plane, just a couple rude flight attendants..

...and so here we are, it is about 7:20pm and we are in Milan! The weather is so much warmer, and I think I saw the sun when we landed! We were greeted at the bus station by a friend of Celeste, Stefano, who gave me keys to her flat, and kindly showed us the way! Tomorrow Megan and I are planning to visit the Duomo, do a little shopping, and really just admire all of the Italian beauty in this city! Celeste will be home around 11pm tomorrow night to prepare for our train ride down to Bari on Tuesday morning. That is where we are spending Christmas.. I cant wait to see her!!





I will post my denmark photos shortly! now out for some authentic italian food, yuummmm!
