I love the smell of Europe in the morning

Good morning experience readers.

Its just another manic Monday here at my desk and despite the fact that I have about 15 policy renewals to work on, I’m still mentally asleep. Not my fault though, it was an exhausting weekend.

This weekend, Milan had its sales. Essentially the entire city was up to 50% off, which brought millions of people into the city center in search of deals, despite the 100 (thousand) degree heat. I think my favorite deal was the department store giving out mini cans of Coke (coca light) at the entrance to pretty much every department. Diet Coke, being my personal kryptonite, was reason enough to run around this place for a good hour…like a fat kid at Costco. (but ohhhh do I love samples).

Anyway, I got some cool news the other day, which I’m uber- excited about. My company decided to send me on a 2 week training conference to Paris at the end of July. I obviously have to be in the office from 9 to 5 but 5 to midnight means time to enjoy myself too! I went to Paris for 3 days 4 years ago, so I’m really hoping to see some cool areas. Plus one of my old roommates from Rome lives there- so extra points for going around Paris with an actual French person.

Maybe I’ll eat some freedom fries and liberty toast. Just for fun.
