First times.

Italy has had a lot of first times in it for me. Here's a peak:

I ate mussels.

I ate a snail.

I ate an octopus. And a squid.

I ate a shrimp.

I ate rabbit.

I ate fresh tuna.

I ate buffalo yogurt.

I ate sardines.

Note: All of these animals were alive when I first saw them, or freshly killed and still fully intact.

I had a 10 minute conversation with the natural food store owner, in Italian. Folks, that's a big deal. Italians sempre switch to English when I start talking.

Oh, and I cut off my hair. Well, some of it.

Pictures to come.
