WIND, Fog, Snow, and Kitchen Parties

After much delay, frustration, money, and hunting, we ALL officially have Italian cell phones. These little gems come through the WIND service and only cost us 10 euro/month. We get 800 minutes and 4000 texts! HOLLER! They're cute little miniature devices that could easily be mistaken for a domino piece, but hey! they get the job done.
The fog is getting a bit annoying...we heard it stops soon but I, being from Colorado, am accustomed to 300 days of sunlight a year...so please Mr. Sun, come out and play!
 Also, today was the first day of our Italian Crash Course and we can now have basic conversations with the locals (if they speak slowly and ONLY ask us our name, how old we are, and where we are from in an EXTREMELY slow, yet perfectly grammatical accent-less way :-)
Lastly, our kitchen parties have been a hit. The lovely concierge man from Africa loves everyone, but when his shift is replaced by the AWFUL Russian Mafia man all bets are off. We've befriended some Chili-ens who absolutely adore us. Hopefully we haven't scared them off yet! Some Serbian girl insists on stalking us because she quote "knows a lot about America" but is a LITTLE overwhelming. Lastly, the Australian fellows nearby are absolutely delightful and a sight for very sore eyes!
Tomorrow is Katie's birthday....we all have to regretfully celebrate with her........KIDDING!
CANT WAIT! The big Two-One in a country that allows infants to drink in the womb..should be interesting!
Until next time, talk soon!

P.S. I love you ALL!
