Italian carabinieri (police) "hard at work"We dont' have much planned for this weekend except tomorrow night I hope to check out a friend's photography exhibit after a work event I must attend. The work event involves aperitivo at a "cutting of the ribbon"-type ceremony at the new Italian studies school where we send students to. Then, we'll possibly have some guys over on Saturday night for dinner and a baseball game. If we do end up having them over, I can guarantee that I will partake in the eating part but not in the baseball part. After filling my belly with some delicious grub, I will make my way over to our computer and go to my happy place while the guys whoop, hoot, and cheer over base steals and home runs. On Saturday during the day, I plan to also play catch-up at the gym, as I haven't been in over a week. Ugh.
Then, I hope to at least narrow down a week that my parents come this summer so I can start organizing and planning their trip. They don't want to visit us in Florence (because they've been here twice already), so we'll probably end up meeting them somewhere. So far, they've mentioned Lake Como, Switzerland, Salzburg, and Prague. They just have to decide on two of the places. I've told them that I'd like to know sooner than later so we can jump on the good deals in case we end up flying somewhere.
Speaking of good deals, today I saw flights down to Sardegna for 40 euro round trip per person. C really wants to go so we might hop down there in July!
I realized after reading about the winners of the Academy Awards that I haven't seen any good movies in a long time and let alone any of the movies that won awards. I saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona but haven't seen any of the others. Slumdog Millionaire and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button are coming back to Florence in a few weeks so I'll have to make sure I check them out then. Buon weekend to you all!
