ITALY HERE I COME!

WELL ...How can I start? 2009 had barely started and I was off to embark in a great journey in my life and cycling career.   It was all very different  from the VERY beginning.  As I landed at the Pisa Airport and had the team DS, who does not speak any english pick me up, had a hard time communicating since I couldn't not come up with any italian at all!! I had only english in my head! But somehow we managed few lines were understood such as I am thirsty and I need to "pee"!! So we rushed off to the hotel where we were staying for team camp, but before that we made a quick to the Brunello's shop so we could quickly pick up the temporary bike I 'd riding till we got our new bikes....well ...I was on the count down!! I just could NOT wait another 2 mins I needed to go pee!! Noticing how uncomfortable I was the DS said...5 mins and then 5 mins after that he said 5 mins! Once we finally arrived at the hotel, in Viareggio, tuscany, I ran inside,desperately asked where the bathroom was and the lady looked at me sorta funny then I realized she didn't understand a word that came out of my mouth! I asked then for bano(haha in spanish) but I think she got it and pointed me the direction as I rushed there I realized I had used the men's room instead of the ladies room, but it was a little too late for that!! 

Relieved I went on to meet the rest of my team.....
