I blame this on the Bull's balls....

So while we were in Milan we came across a mosaic of a bull. Local legend has it that stepping on the bull's balls is good luck. So many people many have done this that there is an indentation in the floor where his balls are. After we all stepped on his balls we proceeded to not be able to see the Last Supper, have horrible bathroom experiences, have a train that didn't actually get us to the center of Rome, have a crazy homeless guy tell us that we were fuckers, and have our hostel in room be nothing but an internet cafe. Stupid bull. But we did finally make it to Rome. Hopefully things will look up from here.

Sounds like you are having a good time. Issues as you know will arise. I assume you are out of school and having your 2 weeks of freedom now. How many of you are traveling together. Sounds like more than one. Life here is good. Been busy as usual. I did make a batch of home made ice cream today. I found an electric ice cream maker at walmart last week end and actually remembered to buy ice this weekend. So I had to try it out before I made if for you. After all I couldn't risk serving you bad home made ice cream. You will be happy. It is yummy. Have a wonderful time and make sure you go to the top of the Eiffel Tower. That's a Mother Mandate!

Love you

I think you're confusing Dog's Bullocks with Bull's Bullocks. Stomping on them would generally be bad anyhow, no?

Arnold: The locals do it. It is supposed to be good luck. Besides, there wasn't a mosaic of a dog to step on.

Mom: There are four of us travelling together and I will go to the top of the eiffel tower.
