Today I walked all around Florence with my Mom, Meg, and Adam. Yesterday we did every museum in Florence. For Free thanks to my card that gets us to the front of the line and in (for free). The four hour line at the Uffizi didn't like that. (The Uffizi is where the Birth of Venus is with Primavera, both by Botteceli) Bellisimo. I'm exhausted and I ( Read more... )

Went to Rome the other day (Sat). It was lots of fun. Saw the Capella Sistina. Wow. The Last Judgment is...Wow. After that went to the Pantheon. Loads of fun. Then through the Roman forum to the Colosseum. Got weird pictures that one day I might post. My spelling has gotten worse and my Italian not much better. Grammar be damned. Many realizations ( Read more... )

Go figure after revelation comes white shit on your throat. Arg. It's pretty close to freezing here. About 5 degrees celcius at the hottest point in the day. I didn't sleep ( Read more... )

Yay for a little Q-Zar moment. Today was an interesting day. I remembered what I thought on my first day of travel and I felt sad. Four weeks pass and you forget what promises you made when you first left. To grow. I stopped, and realized today that I stopped growing. I've stopped trying to communicate with the world around me. I've stopped ( Read more... )

Rest in Peace Arthur Miller

It snowed in Firenze. I slept. I've been homesick a bit but I'm still excited about life here. You don't realize life here until you walk past the Duomo. I see it every day. Its beautiful. Santa Croce is magnificent. I like the leather shop. Wink Wink nudge nudge. They are closing up here at school so my stealing internet is coming to a close ( Read more... )

Happy Saint Valentines Day. From Firenze to you.
