Ho paura del ragno.

This is the one sentence I remember from the two years of Italian I took in college. And I probably got it wrong.

Yes! So! I am here! This computer at this Internet place, it does not function as I am liked it to! I am having the unhappy!

When I go to other countries I can't do their language, so I just speak the broken Englishes. They love it. No, really.

I must make this short, as the proprietor here, she is liking the incense, and my husband, he is having of the sickness regarding this. So! Our trip so far: pretty! We are surrounded by, um, what do you call it--nature. There are lizards in our beds. And snails in our shoes. There are many pretty sights. The pasta! What can I say! Hospitaliano! On the minus side, there has been some vomiting, and some not pooping, and some fever, and some refusing to eat a single foodstuff except for gelato. Guess who I'm referring to! C'mon!

Okay, Scott is reenacting Henry's regurgitation in the car on the way to San Gimignano, so I must leave you. More there will be at a later times! Me are hoping they will have the happy, the times in the next days!

Ahhhhh, gelato!

[Mrs. Kennedy]

Gelato contains all of the four food groups: milk, sugar, and artificial and natural flavors.

Dove il Vaticano?

[missbanshee]

So happy we are, that the times you are having are good!

[Jenny]

Yay for broken english and gelato! Sorry about the other issues. Enjoy all that nature and pasta.

[tuckova]

how you manage to actually make it sound like fun is sort of a miracle. yet you do! snails in the shoes!

[Julie]

Snails...mmmm. Gelato...barf.

Oops, mixed that up, didn't I?

[Cori]

But the donkeys??? Are you finding donkeys like you suggested in your last post? Italy just isn't really Italy without a donkey or two.

[Kma]

Is the Gelato really better in Italy than in, say, the Venetian (in Vegas, which is the only place I've ever had it)?

[Bowehead]

Your broken english sounds like those Nigerian scammers...heehee

[rose]

Even though we are, how you say, missing the writing of you, it hears like you having a time. Ciao, bellisima!

[Running2Ks]

[jenB]

[surcie]

[Belinda]

Just soak it all up so there will be enough for all of us to squeeeeeeze out of you upon your return. Enjoy!

[Linda]

Here, let me use my high school german to help you...

"Wo ist de badenzimmer?"

(that's where is the bathroom)

I could also teach you how to say "My name is Linda. I am 15 years old." Let me know if you need that little gem (no charge).

Soooo very envious. I want to use my broken English in Italy right now, instead of waiting until 2007.

Hey, rat bastard in Portuguese is sacana. You never know when that might come in handy.

[Badger]

And so the broken Englishes, she consists of the two parts Manolo the Shoeblogger and the one part of the Yoda? This is making for the super fantastic happy times, you betcha!

[Miss Weeze]

Here is the sentence you need: "Posso avere un'altra bottiglia di vino rosso, per favore." Don't said I never did nothing for you.

[kim]

Yay! What is there to read when you're away? Not that much, really. Sorry about the tummy problems!

[clickmom]

Wish you were here. Wish I was there.

[saviabella]

My favourite Italian phrase is: quanta costa questa borsa? (how much is this purse?) It sounds pretty, and it's practical, too!

[Dawn]

I are having the hope for you the time she is good. The laugh you are giving is big. Thanking you I am.

[Uma Andersson]

It's not the spiders one has to fear when it Italy, its the people behind the wheel of a fiat on a one-way cobbled street!

Glad to see you are enjoying yourself and practicing a patois is fine.

[victoria]

I fear the spider too.
