Holy Crap, There's Italians Here




You'd never think that 100 miles could mean so much; man, was I wrong. As soon as we crossed from Lugano (Switzerland) to Como (Italy), everything changed. They speak different. Their sense of time is completely different. They ride sexy motorcycles instead of frugal scooters. They have edible food. Of course, there's some negatives, such as no more blondes. But hey, it's worth the trade-off.

We expected a lot from Como, given this was where the stars hang out (i.e. George Clooney). What we got though was a somewhat decrepit town that seemed quite full of itself. Very disappointing, especially after the great time we had in Lugano.

On a positive note, I did get to start reversing the "germanic nutrisystems plan" and begin to re-Lump. After 4 weeks on the road, I was down around 15 lbs (97.2 kg), and feeling downright skinny. Italian food should remedy that quickly!
