Nearly two months after it began, I have finally finished the blog about my "mindblowing" trip to Italy, in which my friend Jenny and I went to alternate universes instead of on a frivolous birthday trip to have fun and eat.In the Ten Days...Ten Pounds blog (or as my mother calls it, 10x10), it only took 33 posts to do justice to 8 short and mostly uneventful days.
