1. One cup of coffee in Italy is so strong, it´s like having 2 or 3 cups in NYC.
2. No one takes coffee to go.
3. I have seen more speedos and skimpy bathing suits in 2 weeks than I have seen in the past 20 years. I´ve seen a lot of naked boobies too. People just change from street clothes into bathing suits on the beach. Hello...naked people.
4. The people in Grado, local and tourists, have a much better body image than Americans. They do not care what they look like in their bathing suits. Too skinny, kinda big....whatever....it doesn´t matter...they are happy and walk around with confidence. It´s nice. We should be more like that.
5. Caramella means candy...I went into a candy store to buy some gummy bears and chocolates but the caramella stores don´t sell chocolate. odd. No chocolate in caramella stores.
6. When going to the beach, you have to pay for a chair or else you can not sit on the beach. The beach patrols will find out and will make you buy a chair, but they bring it out to you and will set it up. Only 5 euros for the entire day.
7. It doesn´t take long for clothes to dry outside. I was a local and did some laundry in my sink and let is dry on my balcony.
8. Life is Beautiful, the movie, is amazing to watch in Italian, even if you can´t understand all the words.
9. When ordering a ¨"fish plate" find out what types of fish are on the fish plate. Frightening sometimes. I had no clue!
10. One night, I thought I was ordering so well in Italian... I ordered a plate of mussels for the table, for 3 of us to share, but we ended up with 3 orders of mussels for the 3 of us. Oh well, we ate all of them anyway.
11. The overweight luggage fee can be almost as much as the cost of the airline ticket itself. My suitcase was overweight and it cost me 60 euros. YIKES! The small, inexpensive airlines have awesome ticket prices yet very strict restrictions. Mom, I´m mailing some things home!
12. Don´t forget to take the expesive sunscreen out of your carry on. Oh yes, my expensive sunscreen was in my carry on and I had to throw it all out. I forgot to take it out. How many times have I flown in the last few months? DUH!
13. Italian men do know how to "woo" American woman. No details...my mom reads my blog on a regular basis! HA!
