Because We Are Idiots

This blog is a bunch of questions we have asked ourselves.  They are regrets.  They are also a lesson learned about doing things you want to do when you have the opportunity, because later you may wish you had.

OK,  I have given you the answers to the first couple of questions, but you will have to fill in the answers for the rest.  It is pretty easy because the answer is about the same for each one.

Why did I only buy ONE murano glass charm for €3 in Venice?
       Because I Am An Idiot

Why didn't we take pictures of Aly with her jewelry?
       Because We Are Idiots?

Why did we not take pictures of the seven course meal on the-day-we-nearly-ate-ourselves-to-death?

Why didn't I take a picture of Manuele?  Who is Manuele?  Someone I really should have taken a picture of, obviously.  If I had a picture, you would know why I should have taken his picture. :)

Why didn't we get off the bus on the beach at Ettrick Bay on Bute?

Why did I almost miss the last train from Robecco d'Olio back to Brescia and end up standing between two train tracks in the foggy dark by myself hoping the train would come?  (Ok, so this one should read "because I am an idiot")

And why didn't I take a picture of the station in Robecco d'Olio?

Why didn't I go see Mario?

Why didn't I get pictures of the inside of the church in Pontevico?

Why didn't we ask for a picture of the Guardian Angels that escorted us to our hotel from the train station in Brescia?

How did we forget to go into the walls in Lucca?

How did we spend five weeks in Europe and not go into one museum?

How did we spend five weeks in Europe and only see the inside of two churches (make that one for Becky)?

How did we spend 2 1/2 weeks in Italy and not see any art except a fresco on the side of a hardware store in Porcari?

Why did we go in October when Nomadi doesn't do concerts?

Why didn't we get more pictures of us with the people we met there?

Why didn't we do this years ago?

I am sure there are more, because our (my) level of idiocy is well developed, and as I think of them, I will add them on to future blogs.

We are still doing some notes from the trip, and want to get them down before we forget them. You know how it is when you go on a trip, there are so many great things that happen, and you think you won't ever forget them, but years later you remember the big things, and forget some of the smaller ones. If you are tired of getting these blogs, let me know and I will unsubscribe you, and I will understand, but I have a bunch of things I want to write about.  Some of these things are from early in the trip, and some are just thoughts, and some will be just quotes.  We will see.
