Trip to Italia

[sealice aka lone ranger]

thought i would share the some of the pictures i took on my recent trip to italy. my whole family went (my family, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins) the first city we stayed in was Porto San Stefano, a small city on the island of Argentario. it's about two hours north of roma. we stayed in a nice apartment that over looked the port. we ended up staying here for 5 days


getting ready to fly from JFK to Pisa

looks pretty weak :D

[sealice aka lone ranger]

the towns main piazza, and social area is down by where those boats are. it looks really fa in the picture, but there are sets of stairs that cut across the roads. walking up and down that thing was a bitch though.

one afternoon i was really drunk (more than i intended to) and i was walking back up a set of stairs and it turns out it was a private stair case, well i went up really far so i was looking for a place to sit and i found an orange tree so i grabbed some oranges and started eating them under the tree when this old woman practicly kicks down her down and starts screaming at me to get out of her property (in italian) so i praticly break my neck trying to get down the stairs, it was awesome.

[BART]

yeah you told us that one already.









hahahahahaha

[sealice aka lone ranger]

did i really?

[BART]

i think you were drunk when you posted. it was immediately after i think?

so it only sorta counts.

[sealice aka lone ranger]

well heres one i didnt, all the girls in porto san stefano i met tried to get me to smoke hash. those kids are obssesed with clubing and smoking hash.

[sealice aka lone ranger]
