Andrea and the Jolly Bus (aka "bousse").

This is Andrea. He was our bus driver and spent the whole time in Parma and Pisa with us. He translated for us when Lisa or Chris couldn’t (e.g., most of the time). He also hit on a lot of the girls in the group, which made some of them uneasy, but I really liked him (and I figured his forwardness was just part of his being Italian). He helped me with my Italiano and did a great job getting that huge bus off the narrow roads of the marble mountain near Carrara. Picolina bambolina!
