A gallon of chocolate milk in Manitoba is over $6.
Regular milk is around $3.50 here.

Regular milk is between $4.50 and $6 here depending on the type of milk.

Rome is the shizzbamsnappy, we went on a mediteranean cruise a few years ago and it was a great way to see that part of europe. like a sampler and you could decide where to visit again and where to stay away from.

Sarah and I are going on a two week Italy trip next year. We can't wait. I think we are going to spend 5-6 days in Rome.

How the hell are they going to get those huge ships out of there?

I would never be able to get Jim to anywhere in Europe. He is not a fan of travelling and he terrified of planes.

As for the toe shoes, I have a pair on order. But not for wearing out and about. They are a shoe with a purpose. They are what is called "minimalist shoes." Those of us that run that want to work on developing the muscles in our feet and ankles, they are the best thing we can wear.

I won't just wear them to go out. I'll wear them around the house and to/from workouts. If somebody has an issue with me wearing them at the gym, they can go fuck off. I'm trying to accomplish something that I can't really do any other way other than going barefoot.

The best of these type of shoes are Vibram (pronounced Vee brum) 5 fingers.

Me too. He is also not a fan of large crowds and most touristy places are packed full of people.

Really?
It's finally getting warm enough out that I'll be able to run outside and not have to worry about ice.
And I'm thinking of buying shoes just for running.
Those would be the best for building muscle in my ankles?
I have bad ankles, and play soccer, I'm always looking to strengthen them.

I don't like crowds either. I've found that I rarely get stuck in crowds because I know when to go to the big tourist spots. Sure you will get a crowd at the Guinness factory tour in Dublin. Can't avoid that. Just prepare for it.

We just avoid those types of situations. He has told me several times if I want to go somewhere I am more than welcome to it... he just doesn't have any desire... Now I just need to find someone to go with...
