Friday the 13th...

Friday the 13th lived up to its name. It was the first bad day we have really had since we got here. But before you get worried mom, since I know you are reading, it all turns out good in the end. Haha anyways today we had to get up super early to fly to Italy and everything was fine until we landed in Milan, that's when it Starts to go down hill. First thing is Sarah'a bank card won't let her take out any money. And we have no phone to call anyone and the pay phone didn't work at first. Then to make things worse there was a charge on her card she didn't make. But she got ahold of her dad and it all worked out. But not until we had spent two extra hour in the airport making it almost two thirty before we boarded a bus to go to our hostel. This leaves us with less than twenty four hours to explore Milan. While one the bus we couldn't understand how it worked so we got off like five stops to early and had to walk all the way to our hostel with a map that had only like six streets labeled on it. But we found it! Then we had to carry our luggage up five flights of stairs that each had thirteen stairs, how ironic. From there though everything started to look up and we for to explore the city some. It is prett here and smells better than Paris! All in all today has made us travelers like Mitch, the study abroad guy at ONU, said we should be and not tourist. One other thing I forgot to mention, Sarah used the men's bathroom in the hostel twice today! This Australian guy was looking at us funny and then was like um this is the guys bathroom. It was so funny especially everything we have been through today. And on the plus side he was super cute! That's all for today, I might not be able to blog the next couple of days because we might not have wifi in Tuscany. But you will hear all about in a few days!
