Ds2 texted me! He loves me! He misses us!

Haha! How many more weeks does he have?

I feel like this is deja vu, didn't your oldest do the same when he went to Europe? lol

[Deleted]

LOL. This sounds very much like my year of college living in Germany.

Thanks for sending me money @stalkermom!

oh yes. He called from Rome, with a week left, having blown his last 300 Euros on a leather jacket. 

He still has the jacket; I'm dying to see what ds2 spent his money on. I hope it's something that really lasts. 

I bought my mom a cameo ring when I was in Italy. She had lost the cameo from an old ring, which I am guessing she got when SHE went to Italy. This was back when you could get great stuff for next to nothing in American dollars. ahhh, the good old days.

My lucky earri gs come from Toledo. I loved that town so so much.

I called for permission to use my parents' credit card for doc martens when I was shopping in Covent Gardens. It's a rite of passage!

tell him to pace himself!

lol.

but to eat everything. EVERYTHING.

and to stop buying gifts, to just enjoy the experiences!!!

lol, I thought you meant TOLEDO toledo.

España. Hehe. I went with my Spanish class when I was going into my senior year at high school. It will feature heavily in my biopic; the Museo del Prado is where I first decided to become an art historian!

I went to prison in Toledo.

True story.

Our hotel was an old jail. Its windows were the size of my iPad. I SHIT YOU NOT.

In the god damn middle of summer.

The rooms had no a/c.

Ahhhh Toledo. Why do I love you so.

Why haven't you traveled, Sue? I assume it's hard to take time off work being self-employed, but I'm really surprised you haven't!

I'll be really ticked if I get sick and die before I get to go to Europe.

I won't let you! And ya know, if you need a personal art historian.... I know a girl!
