l'Italie!!

another tardy blog post for friday, 6/4/10- We headed off to Ventimiglia again because Sarah and I had some serious knockoff purse shopping to do. Our visit was slightly less colorful than the boys' who had gone a few weeks prior, full of track suits and cliche Italian exclamations. Unfortunately, nous nous sommes trompés de train and after arriving in Monaco, the train turned around and headed back toward Nice, wtf?! Eventually we made it to Italy after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and with about 40 minutes to scour the open air markets full of Chinese knockoffs.
Sarah succeeded in finding a cute black shiny "Prada" purse with a bow on it and a "burberry" wallet, and I got a red "Prada" purse with a koala-dog-pokemon on it and a "Burberry" purse too. The rest of the time was devoted to avoiding the italian flic (cops, who are known to confiscate knockoff purses and fine the violator. We have yet to figure out why they don't shut down the many vendors of said purses that are in plain view), gelato, limoncello, and nutella-oriented snacks. Having Italy just an hour's train ride away rocks!
