Roma and the heat!

Rome is HOT! Such a huge and amazing city I can't believe I forgot so much about it already. Yesterday, in Florence, we went to the Duomo, Cathedral, Boboli Gardens, and walked around the city. We went to most all the piazzas and they were beautiful. Florence is still my favorite place. At night we had a nice dinner and then we went by the river on the ponte vecchio to see fireworks. Apparantely, yesterday was a holiday in honor of a saint and there was a huge parade and huge soccer/rugby match at the end. It was interesting to see the parade (we did not get to see the match). Florence was fun as usual. This morning we caught an afternoon train to Rome and it was hectic but I am glad to be here. You know backpacking can be a pain but I am still appreciating every minute I have over here. It is just a once in a lifetime experience. Next year I hope Neha will take a vacation with me out to some of these islands (you have to come with me!). The hostel I am in now is called Bella Roma and it is really nice. Ok well we plan on doing a lot more walking and sight-seeing for the next three days. Then off to GREECE!!! We are all so freaking excited about Greece! Ciao guys...

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 ...
