What I am Not Going to Tell you About – Italy

I am not going to tell you about all the awesome stuff I have been doing in Italy.

Like how we had to go on the six hour plane ride from Boston to Amsterdam overnight and also the 2 hour flight from Amsterdam to Venice. The airport in Boston is called Logan. The airport in Amsterdam is called Schipol. The airport in Venice is called Marco Polo. Marco Polo is a very fun game to play in the swimming pool. It is very funny how they named an airport after a swimming pool game. Marco Polo was actually a great Italian explorer but I didn’t know that until my mom just told me.

And I won’t tell you how the airplane company Delta left our check in luggage in Amsterdam. And that the courier broke the deal that they deliver our luggage in 24 hours to the hotel – so I had to stay in my stinky clothes for 2 days.

I am not going to tell you all the fun stuff I have been doing either…like going skiing with two of my friends from London and how we have an awesome skiing instructor named Lukas. He is awesome because he is a great Italian ski instructor and he teaches things like how to do perfect parallel, we learned how to ski backwards today and ski on one ski.

I will not tell you how we have a room just for skiing and it is ironically called The Ski Room.

Our view from the window is of the ski slopes. It is kind of boring except for the occasional Moose who races by. Here in the Dolomites it is fun! The Dolomites are mountains in the Alps. We hear people speaking Italian and German. We say “Ciao” a lot.

I will not tell you about the awesome swimming pool and how the management is very mean in saying “This is not a FUN hotel, it is a WELLNESS hotel.” BORING!

So far I have only eaten penne pasta for dinner but today I am trying a chicken schnitzel. I did not want Vienner Schnitzel because it sounds too much like Weiner Schnitzel. And I think most of the readers know what a Weiner is.

I hope you enjoy this blog in which I do not tell you anything.
