Goodbye Summer!

This past week the weather changed. It went from nice, sunny and warm to cool and rainy... you could almost feel the seasons start to change.. Today was warm-ish and the weather is supposed to be warm enough in the next days, but this past week was a foreshadowing of what is to come in the next few months. Even though it is warm outside there is still a chill in the air that wasn't there a few weeks ago. So, yes, my friends, autumn is upon us. I have to admit that I am not all that sad to bid summer adieu. I will say this much, though... it was a good summer :)

I got to go backstage and dance on stage with Skin (she was so nice) and with certain people from The Black Eyed Peas (even ended up back at their hotel along with a friend)

Spent quite a bit of time bagging some rays with my roommate

Attended my first Palio dell'Oca after many years of living in Trento

Hung out with friends

Went to Ireland, drank a lot of Guinness, stayed in a castle and met some amazing people

Munich

Playing hide and seek in complete darkness at a friends house at 2am 

(my friends house just happens to be a castle)

Salzburg

(If you look closely at these you might recognize a few places from The Sound of Music!!!)

(like this one...)

(...and this one...)

(...and this one...)

(...and this one...)

(...and this one...)

and well, let's be honest, there were a few drunken nights!
