Lago di Garda

Since Brittany arrived it had been HOT! and we were always in Padova, as I was studying for exams, so finally we decided to take a day trip to the lake, and of course that is the one day it rains, there was a storm we waited out under a patch of trees in our bathing suites (to keep our cloths dry). after it cleared up though it turned out to be a lovely day where we got free bbq fish from the lake and enjoyed an old fashioned parade, how lucky are we!

 brittany might have kind of peed her pants

 yes the sultan looking soldier had a real gun

Firenze Critical Mass

 our train ride to florence we traveled like queens

 probably because i was the capotreno 

 this is how happy brittany is to be in italy

 the most samples of gelato i have ever tried in italy... we didn't even have to ask for half of them

 preparing our faces for the critical mass

 grazie veramente francesco per tutto, adesso vieni in california!

 the critical mass, we rode out bikes around florence to steal the streets from the cars and reduce co2 

i just like the reflection of the dumpsters on the wall

Brittany's Arrival

 after some unfortunate confusion, brittany arrived in italy and to celebrate we had a crossdressing pancake party, i was rather busy and handed the camera off, so unfortunately there are not pictures of everyone, but everyone looked great!
