Sarthak and I just got in to our hostel in Florence and we ran out to an internet cafe. Italy has been great and I am sad to have to leave in only a few days. When I get home I will put my entries from my travel journal online, so look forward to that. Here is a taste from our day in Milan:<\/p>\n
Sarthak and I were looking for a phone card and were asking around in order to find one. Neither of us speak Italian, so it was a little more difficult than one might speak. Still, Sarthak used his brilliant Spanish skills to save our butts:<\/p>\n

\nTabbachi shop man: No, no.
\nSarthak: (In mix of Spanish and English) Where can I get one?
\nMan: (We perceived him saying) Would you prefer I speak Spanish or English?
\nSarthak: English, please.
\nMan: (Repeating) Ahh! Engleeesh, pleeeze! (Then in Italian) I only speak Italian…<\/strong><\/p>\n
