Now it was a Christian Science monastery (yeah, weird, right?) and the food was vegetarian and very good, but I mean, this was FLORENCE! Hence my breaking and entering behavior almost every night for the week we stayed there.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02362687820368214420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-73308653661952304502008-06-20T08:09:00.000+02:002008-06-20T08:09:00.000+02:00glamah16 - I'm with you.

Yes, I know dog tongues are supposed to be cleaner than ours but still. Yes go away for a month or a year if you can and see how you feel. Why not? Life is short. You can always move back to the states.<BR/><BR/>eryn - Yes his column is popular. He really is a nice guy. I haven't been to Da Enzo yet. It's on my list.<BR/><BR/>jen - a curfew at 8:00?! That is way too early. <BR/><BR/>texas espresso - until I start earning some $$$ I'm going to be worried. ha.

I'll have to read what he has to say about the curfew thing.

To say I freaked out is an understatement. lmao<BR/><BR/>Reading your blog and now Matt's articles makes me want to pack up and leave America. Maybe a month. Maybe a year. Maybe a lifetime. ;) Sigh!Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883345504272856768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-18002070457255407112008-06-19T17:39:00.000+02:002008-06-19T17:39:00.000+02:00My arma are jacked up to rom those pests!

I appreciate both but since I'm allergic I can't have pets anyway. <BR/><BR/>erin - yes he made it back to the convent in time on Friday but not the next night. He had to sleep at a friends. The nuns do not play!! I think he missed curfew a few times. 11:30 is kind of early given most people don't start eating dinner until late.nyc/caribbean ragazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370358466131415888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18861479.post-25743104095945607922008-06-19T14:38:00.000+02:002008-06-19T14:38:00.000+02:00You always have these adventures with movie people...You always have these adventures with movie people or writers :) I just read his article and want to read more.
