Ciao Bella!

Hello from Florence everyone! It has been way too long since I have updated and I have so much to tell everyone. Last I left off I was in Barcelona. We really all just chilled on the beach and relaxed. On our last night we went to the Plaza de Espana and saw the fountain there with the amazing light show. It was magnificent (I am running out of words to use to describe Europe). The next day we left for Cinque Terre. Let me tell you all what my book says "In the five fishing villages of Cinque Terre, man and nature have worked together in harmony to produce a place that sweetens and soothes the spirit". They were not telling a lie. Cinque Terre is like walking into the middle of a romantic novel description of Italy... it is even more than that. The 5 towns are so beautiful and it is like each one is its own little paradise. We were in the most touristy of the 5 towns in Monterosso. What is cool about Cinque Terre is that you can hike up the mountains to the other villages (other than that you can take a train). We opted to hike and I did not make it very far as I got sick on my way up (I tried!). The whole time I was there I kept thinking of my parents and how much they would adore this place (I hope I can send you there some day). It was amazing. We met up with our friends, Andrea and Lisa, whom we met on the train from Paris to Madrid. They have been a real blast to hang out with and it is funny how we meet people all around Europe and become close. They lived in the smallest of the 5 towns in Riomaggiore. Everyone here is so friendly. Italy is such a rich country with amazing people and once you go it is like you are leaving a piece of yourself there. We really relaxed and enjoyed our time in Cinque Terre. Today we arrived in Florence and we are ready for 2 days of some fast paced sight-seeing. I was fortunate to go to Italy about 4 years ago and I am so happy to be back. We are planning to see the Duomo, Academia, and much more. I will definitely update more while I am here in Italy. Take care all! Ciao!

Attacks on Mumbai

Here is a letter my uncle wrote to the PM. I hope you all can understand the terror and grief people are experiencing as a result of these attacks... LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER Dear Mr. Prime minister I am a typical mouse from Mumbai. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don't even do that. Today I heard your speech. In which you said 'NO BODY WOULD BE SPARED'. I would like to remind you that fourteen years has passed since serial bomb blast in Mumbai took place. Dawood was the main conspirator. Till today he is not caught. All our bolywood actors, our builders, our Gutka king meets him but your Government can not catch him. Reason is simple; all your ministers are hand in glove with him. If any attempt is made to catch him everybody will be exposed. Your statement 'NOBODY WOULD BE SPARED' is nothing but a cruel joke on this unfortunate people of India. Enough is enough. As such af...

Say Fromage!

Try saying that instead of ¨say cheese¨next time you take a picture. Man am I loving Europe! I arrived in Spain today after a long but fun train ride from Paris. Ok let me fill you guys in. Last I left off I was telling you about how we were planning on seeing the Lourve, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Pantheon. We made it to all three but with very sore feet. Our bodies took a toll from the 10 hours of walking we did the day before. The Pantheon was a nice place because it provided us with a cool atmosphere. In the Pantheon there are graves of famous people like Emile Zola, Rousseau, and many more. It was interesting to see. It was just a beautiful building. The Notre Dame Cathedral was obviously really beautiful. For some reason I find cathedrals really relaxing and beautiful. The stained glass painting are breathtaking and so peaceful... makes me even more excited for my travel to Italia. The Lourve was HUGE!!! I mean it is on its own another city. We didn´t get to see all of it but ...

Off I go...

I am sitting here in my basement and I am getting more and more excited! People always dream and talk about how they will one day drop everything and go to Europe... and I get to make that dream come true! Finally, years of saving up and it is going to be spent on the most amazing trip of my life. True I am going with 3 interesting men and NO girls (where my girls at?!?!) but I love them so it's all good. I will try to keep this updated as much as I can and I will post pictures. E-mail me your addys if you want postcards ( amisha01@yahoo.com ). Love you all and wish me well on my journey to... EUROPE!!!! WOO HOO!
