Photo Album #2: WINE WARS!

As most of you know, one of the planned adventures for this summer is a special festival held in Haro, the capital of Rioja, one of the "counties" of Spain. This region is known for its amazing wine and it is an intricate part of their culture and lives. To the point where they have a week long festival which ends with La Batalla del Vino - WINE WARS!!! It is the best water fight I've ever been in! Check out the photos! :-)

Only In Italy

Only in Italy will you find, in the nicest section of shops in Milan, the Prada store:













and McDonald's right next door!



I do admit that it was the nicest McDonald's I've ever seen! I walked around inside and I was VERY impressed. Though don't worry. I didn't buy a Big Mac! ;-)







Only in Italy!
