Light in Heels

Europe Rant

Italians walk or ride their bikes everywhere, we think of these things as exercise. They don’t think, they just walk a billion miles a day and not even think about it. Why am I saying this? A couple friends and I went hiking along the small coastal town of Piombino. This was a mountain type terrain around the coast with tall cliffs (see my main photo). After hiking for a couple hours up and down all these hills, we were getting tired. There were a lot of locals just out walking for whatever reason. I happened to notice one woman who was hiking in high heels! And she was just walking around like it was nothing! Made me realize as a culture we can be lazy sometimes. But I would much rather believe that these people are bat crap crazy instead of evaluating our fitness levels. I haven’t driven a car since January, not sure if I miss it either. I do, however, miss the ease in which we can get from place to place without any thought or planning.

Here are a few random photos of things. This is some of the crew at my coffee shop, my second home. I don’t know what I am going to do with out my Italian coffee when I get back to the states. The next photo is from the Easter celebration I was stuck in last week. I love the people around the Domo, and this is my walk everyday.

Started filming our documentary on Luca Bessoni, an Italian artist. There is so much involvement to make a documentary, the amount of work we are doing is crazy!

Got my topics for my research paper. I really hate doing papers. I would much rather have a test/quiz. If you been following my blog posts or are my editor then you know my struggle with forming sentences and grammar structure.

To my Zeta Omicron Friends: Great job on the Empty Bowls project and the money they raised for meals on wheels! Wish I could have been there with you guys!
