What we've learned so far

1. Italian's a lot more like Spanish than French

2. Sadly, Margherita pizza does not involve any sort of margaritas (kidding about the sadly part)

3. Never buy the $10 watch from the B/X (Air Force dept store), 3 days later and 3 hands have fallen off and it's 30 minutes off

4. Even in a small 2 bdrm apartment there are a million places for a 1 yr old to hide the remotes, your shoes and the keys

5. Italian washing machines take 2 hours to wash and 2 hours to dry

6. When you're 1 and cooped up in a hotel, you'll go outside and play, even in the rain, just so you won't have to stay in the hotel any more

7. Brighton is very charming and the way in to every Italian's good graces

8. Four cheese pizza is WAY too much cheese for one person, especially when those 4 cheeses are really strong

9. Bathtubs, garages, closets and even kitchens are not guaranteed in any home

10. People think you must not understand them when they ask if you want wine or coffee and you say no to both
