The day started off very early @ 5 a.m. PST. James, my roommate gave me a ride to LAX. I checked in and got to my gate two hours early. I knew going into the day that i had a tight connection from New York to Milan(o). My light ended up being 52 minutes late and luckily the connecting flight was running an hour and a half late. I was the last to board the flight! I watched the movie "The express" and played a little poker with the on board video game system. I slept about 3 1/2 hrs or so of the 8 hr flight. When i woke up the sun was up and we were an hour away from Milano. I peaked out my window to see on of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen... The snow-capped Swiss Alps!!!
My goal is to learn a few Italian phrases a day... I seem to be able to read and comprehend a lot more than i can speak.
Bud and I went all over the place in Lugano/Massagno today... I went to his practice, we hiked up the top of the Mt. Bre that over looks the two lakes here in Lugano... The city sits at the base of the swiss alps and on water front city... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! We watched a few of the NCAA tournament games on Brody's computer... The time change is 8 hrs ahead of California so we watched the 9 a.m. games at 5 p.m. We ate lunch and dinner at the same place... AMAZING FOOD! It's truly great to visit with Brody and catch up. He is a great friend and someone whos relationship I am very thankful for, He is still as modest, genuine, and as good a man as ever.
I haven't slept yet but am going to bed now @ 1:40 am locally in hopes that I will catch up to Swiss time faster.
