These are pictures from Food, Culture, and Society when we made seafood spaghetti. We learned hands-on how to gut and clean squid and muscles. The poor little guys were still alive when we stared simmering them..."I weep for you," the Walrus said:"I deeply sympathize."
With sobs and tears he sorted out
Those of the largest size,
Holding his pocket-handkerchief
Before his streaming eyes.
"O Oysters," said the Carpenter,
"You've had a pleasant run!
Shall we be trotting home again?'
But answer came there none--
And this was scarcely odd, because
They'd eaten every one.
Sad, but tasty! I'm saving all of the recipes, so if anyone would like copies just let me know.
I started training for the marathon yesterday. Even if I fail miserably, running around for hours will certainly acquaint me with the city layout. I'm trying to think positively.
Today I booked a flight from Pisa to Memmingen, Germany for fall break. Jan and Maxamillian said I could stay with them in Kempten, Germany for that weekend. So, I'm thinking I'll stay there for 3-4 days, and then book a cheap flight somewhere else for the remainder of the break, and fly back to Florence before school starts back up again. Barcelona sounds good.
The rest of the week I am going to get ahead on my schoolwork so when I go to Venice with Katy next weekend I won't have to worry.

So cool Melissa! You are having the time of your life. Sounds like your host family is awesome. That makes things just that much better - They invite you into their culture - so neat. I can't think of better word! Poem sounds familiar - Is that from Alice in Wonderland?
