It's Back

This morning we went out for coffee. We went out for coffee because our hotel has a bar, but it doesn't have a barista. For a cappuccino, you put your cup under a nozzle thing, and you push a button. Then it makes a whizzing, hissing noise, and some watery, milky substance comes out. And then something that looks like coffee comes out. And there you go.

I thought these things were illegal in Italy.

Anyway, we went out for coffee, walking into a small, quiet neighborhood. I thought we were about to enjoy an authentic Italian cappuccino experience until a Chinese woman walked behind the bar and took our order.

Turns out she makes a helluva cappuccino. And it was fun talking with her.

Also, on the way back to the hotel we walked by a hair design studio. A huge poster was lining the glass door. For a handsome sum, you can get your very own SOCCER MULLET.

I'm not kidding.

It's back!

Since we seem to be about two or three years behind the Europeans when it comes to fashion and style, we probably don't have to fear the mullet's return to the states until 2011.

Anyhoo, that was our exciting morning. We are catching a train to Verona in half an hour. We'll be staying at the - waaaaaaaait for it - Romeo and Juliet Hotel.

I know. I love Italy.
