Vincenza Italy

This weekend I went to Italy with a ladies group shopping at all the outlets down there. While I am sure you all know how much I hate capidemonte, lenox, and crystal I went just to say I went to Italy and see the sights. We took a bus down leaving about 10 pm Friday and arriving the next am at around 730. The drive was breathtaking going down thru Austia and right thru the alps. They were so high that when I thought I was seeing sky it really was just the snow and shadows of the mountains. If any one wants to see how we went look at Garmish Germany, Steinach, Innsbrook They are all in Germany and Austria and are where the biggest ski lodges are, more commonly known as Adielweiss. The ladies I was with were nuts over the outlets and I was nuts over the mountains. I was suprised that Italy was so mountainous. I just didnt expect it. The Verona valley is where we were in case any one wants to look it up. I had alot of fun and still am saying to myself I cant believe I took a day trip to Italy. The only thing I came home with is a gigantic platter with daisies on it , a water pitcher with wild flowers, and a watermellon shaped fruit bowl.I bought these all at the lenox factory for about 25 american dollars. I also picked up a bottle of wine that only comes from Verona Italy. Talk to you all later enjoy!

At one of the shops we stopped at I asked the owner if I could use the watercloset(bathroom)

I was directed to the back of the store and found the right place. I opened the door turned on the light and this is what I found. I stepped back out and looked at the doors again sure I had found the janitors closet or at the very least the mens room and well this is the place. I walked in locked the door and just stared for a bit. Not sure what to do.... Do I stand up and lean against the wall? Do I take off one pant leg and squat? I was only sure of two things, 1 There was no friggin way I was using this bathroom(as most of you know I have a peeve about public toilets anyway) and 2 I had to have a picture. The girl waiting behind me to get in looked at my face when I came out laughing and I am sure she saw the flash and I was like You go girl cause I aint using that.... She burst out laughing and took a picture too! So tell me was I too picky or would you have used it? At least I didnt to pay as you usually do in Europe!
