The Propositions

We delivered The Holubs to the airport Sunday morning. Gibson was drinking coffee. What? Gibson doesn't drink coffee. "It's a mocha, so it doesn't count." He said, already jittery. They had a 10 o'clock flight to LA and then over to Madrid. We are meeting them in less than a week in Italy.

We've each come up with 2 things we have to do while we're there...kind of a scavenger hunt or a challenge to ourselves to seek out interesting things while we are there.

The lists are in:

Jon: Try some Absinthe and take photos of interesting toilets (not necessarily at the same time.)

Gibson: Leave a copy of 30 Days in Red Pants in a bathroom somewhere and all of us must try Cynar.

Ellen: Eat___________over the Ligurian Sea (we'll fill this in later) and find the weirdest gelato flavor in Italy.

Alex: Play cards with a local and get a picture of one of us kissing a dead pig hanging in a window of a shop or deli or wherever.

Wow...I think Italy will be glad she met us....or will she?
