Trip to Dolomiti Mountains

     So…. We went to the Dolomiti Mountains on Friday. We had to meet at Piazzale Roma at 6:45 am, and we live on the other side of the city by San Marco so we had to wake up at like 5:30. I accidentally overslept for like 15 minutes so I was late getting out the door, then I realized I forgot my headphones for my iPod so I had to run back and get those and then take off towards Piazzale Roma. I felt so gross when I got there because I pretty much sprinted across Venice to make it on time. But it was all worth it because there was this little café where we met that had this awesome croissant filled with chocolate. It was almost as good as that Men in Black donut they had at Dunkin Donuts. The one that was shaped like a star and had chocolate frosting and sprinkles on top and the inside was filled with more chocolate awesomeness. That still is the greatest thing I have ever tasted. It’s like a party in your mouth, and everyone's invited.

     The ride to the mountains was a long one. We got on the people mover to the bus station which was cool. The people mover in Venice is like riding the monorail at Disney World it was so fun. I’m wondering why I spent like 250 bucks on a trip to Disneyland Paris when there’s this awesome people mover thing right here that only costs one euro. Anyway, we got on the bus at 7:30 and rode for two hours towards somewhere on the Swiss-Italian border. I charged my iPod for two days straight before this trip and the fucking thing died before I even finished listening to one album. Then at the end of the night when I vapped it back home I listened to it and it stayed on the whole way. Weird. So during this two hour drive I passed out, and when I woke up there were huge mountains everywhere it was weird. We stopped at this little place to eat that had a playground in front, so of course I ran to the swings and did that for a few minutes. After we left there we stopped at this big lake for about an hour. They had paddle boats to rent so we hopped on those and had a little fun. I was freaking out because the boat was so little and was like sinking and we were in this huge lake. At any moment it felt like Jaws could jump out of the water and eat us, and there was nothing I could have done about it. I hate being on the water or near the water. I made a video of us on the boat but the language of the other boys is like rated X and the internet here is too slow to put it online.

     We ate lunch at this cool restaurant it was good, and then went to the top of the mountain. It was treacherous at the top of the mountain. I kept slipping on the snow and almost fell to my death on at least two occasions. Kids, don’t try to climb a mountain and film a movie at the same time. But I have a really cool video of me being stupid on a mountain so it was worth the risk of death. There’s nothing really more that I care to write about regarding the trip to the mountains, so that’s it. The pictures on Facebook should allow you to see somewhat what it was like up there.

     Oh and on the way back my professor was like trying to get people to sing because on the bus there was a microphone.. I didn't sing anything but I told some jokes. What do you call an elephant and a rhino mixed? Elefino! After I told that joke I said wocka wocka and then my two Italian professors proceeded to sing Mahna Mahna. I filmed them singing it, too. I don't know if they noticed, though. If I get better internet I'll post it on Facebook.
