the 24-hour Ferrara jaunt

it started off perfectly. including the requisite weep F had over Chesil Beach on the train. which she tried to cover up, but if you've ever heard the sniffles, you know they're not exactly discreet. this marked the first, but by no means the last, noisemaking of the journey. other highlights: sucking noises in her sleep - i just assumed she was rehydrating in the middle of the night, until there was no water bottle at hand to be found upon awakening. also, the moans and groans while eating LARD for lunch and scoffing two gelati - yep, hers and mine.
