It was brought to my attention by @CatholicTravel that TrenItalia now posts their strike schedules online. How 2.0, Italy.  Problem:  we didn’t know this until after we stranded ourselves at a train station right in the middle of a big annoying strike. Solution:  take inventory of the situation and make the best of it with a bag of cookies and a digital camera.  Here’s how:

Stranded at the station

First Hour: Eat cookies until you’re high on sugar

cookieeeeeeees

Second Hour: Practice jumping photos

Third Hour: Look for shelter

Could do...

Fourth Hour: You’re starting to lose it

Fifth Hour: You’re finally on a train…get pumped then pass out from the smell of a nun sitting next to you with no shoes and visibly sweat socks.

We're actually holding our breath...the train smelled like rotting sock juice
