Columbus Day

Signore e signori, ciao tutti!

This post is closely linked to Italy...you will ask now: why?!
The U.S. celebrate the anniversary of Christopher Columbus's arrival in America...or his first sight on the Caribbean Islands...whatever. And C.C. was an Italian navigator, and explorer whose voyages across the Atlantic Ocean led to general European awareness of the American continents. (yes, this sentence is directly out of wikipdia)
In other words: without him, no exchange term in New York City! ;-)

Many New Yorkers and Italians in particular celebrate this mid-October holiday with - what else - a parade on the Fifth Avenue from 44th to 79th street. It wasn't that spectacular, but, however, college was off-class, and there was a big holiday sale in the stores.
