Sweating

Another day another fitting...or three or four. We went to our morning fittings and had more this afternoon. In between we planned for Italy and hung out by the pool. We are using Rick Steve's guide book and although its great I don't think it's the right book for us. He basically wants you to plan everything months in advance and that's not how we like to vacation. A layout is necessary but what fun is it if you can't have any randomness along the way? Our friends did the good ole American backpack through Europe not that long ago and we were astonished at their planning, every second down to restaurant choices was pre-planned, it worked for them but isn't our cup of tea. It gives me heartburn thinking that I have to know how long I want I be in a city before I even get there.

We met some girls at a fitting yesterday who are also staying at our hotel and they asked if we wanted to join them in a Vietnamese cooking class so we headed there after our last fitting of the day (our shoes are done!). It wasn't anything like the one in Thailand because we didn't actually do any of the cooking but it was still a grande time. Spring-rolls, aubergine clay pot and fried noodle was the menu and we left with full bellies and headed to a bar to chat with our new friends into the wee hours.

One thing we did a lot of today was sweat. I know in two weeks I'll be complaining that's it cold but right now it's hot hot hot!
