Food Expectations...Yikes!

Since we have free internet we thought we should do a "bonus" unexpected post. Let me tell you a little bit about last night. Chris and I came to our free internet spot, as usual. Since it was raining we could not just sit on the curb so we had to sit under this canopy outside a cafe'. We thought we should buy something since we were using their canopy. I was cold and ordered a hot chocolate. Because nothing warms you up like a hot glass of hot chocolate especially when it is raining. We are waiting for the guy to bring it out to us. Finally this beautiful cup of warmth arrives...Chris and I take one look at it and just start laughing. This was the real deal..they dont mess around here. You ask for Hot Chocolate and that is exactly what you get...a cut of melted chololate in a little cup. It was like being at the melting pot but with nothing to dip in the chocolate!
Another food experience happned this morning at breakfast. Chris and I put what appeared to be cereal in a small bowl, filled it with room temperature milk and enjoyed this free breakfast in our hostel. After the "cereal" was about gone, Chris said I am pretty sure this is supposed to be oatmeal! I looked closely and sure enough it was oatmeal we were eating cold. What do ya do!?
Alright we are getting ready to leave Florence in about 2 hours to head to Assisi. We have not decided if we are staying the night there or moving on. It just depends on how much we find to do there. Also since we are heading to a new city, it is quite possible we might not find internet. So dont be alarmed if you do not recieve and update tonight. If we find an internet cafe' we will hope on and type till our fingers fall off!!

Oh...yeah Happy Halloween. Chris and I are dressing up as American tourists today! We heard at the MPCC there were people dressed up as the Youth Staff. Alissa I am really excited to hear about how you dressed up like me, the question I have is who was Chris?
Love ya,
Chris and Lyndsey

HI GUYS, JAZZ AND I HAVE OUR WALKING IN TODAY. MY NEIGHBOR CALLED LAST NIGHT AND SAID TO WATCH JAZZ CAREFUL WHEN I LET HER OUT BECAUSE THERE WAS A WOLFE IN THEIR BACK YARD YESTERDAY. SHE SAID SHE TOOK A PICTURE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T THINK HER NEIGHBORS WOULD BELIEVE HER. I WILL BE EXTRA CAREFUL. GREG JUST LEFT WITH KALEIGH AND ASHLEY. KALEIGH IS REALLY EXCITED ABOUT TRICK OR TREAT TONIGHT. THEY WENT TO 4 HOUSES LAST NIGHT AND SHE REALLY KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING NOW. I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY AND NIGHT.
