Month: December 2005

Not much time to chat, so going to make this brief – Went to a jazz club last night, it was cool with a very spanish vibe – So a museum today, though david would be there, but was completely wrong – Just been hanging out enjoying Florence – Plans for tonigh unsure but I’m…

Yesterday I was in Pisa. Pisa strikes me as the sorta town in rural America thats claim to fame is the worlds largest Frying Pan. The phrase “Stop in Pisa and see the World’s most leaningest tower in all the world” should be printed on a billboard outside of this town. All fooling around aside…

First lets talk about Christmas night in Rome. It was spectacular, Vegas and I chilled all night with all the other Hostile goers. I admit I may have gotten a lil tipsy, but it was only my 2nd time this trip so I was doing good. We played drunken twister, and when everyone asked me…

Last night I spent at the Vatican, needless to say I was underwhelmed. I was hoping for some spritual enlightenment, a massive desire to worship jesus in all his glory. Instead I was just cold and cranky. We stood outside in St Peter Square and listened to the pope speak with thousands of other Romans….

Got in to the Yellow Hostel Last night and it truly feels like an authentic Hostel. Its bunk livingesque, where there is 8 people to a room with very little privacy. Though I must say it has been quite a nice stay. The staff has been really helpful in getting us situated. They showed us…

Sorry to cut it short last night, our friend Melissa had to catch a plane back from the states, originally she thought it left at noon apparently it left at 9 am which was not condusive to our current schedule so we had to flee the internet cafe in order to catch the last train…

I am sitting in an internet cafe in Florence right now so I apologize for any spelling errors that may and will most likely occur. So first off these entries will be incredibly out of order. I plan on blogging about the most recent events that happen if I get access to a computer if…

This must be kept short because I have approximately 6 minutes of internet time, so pardon me for any spelling errors. Milano is gorgeous, but I’m sure it will pale in comparison to the rest of Italy, based on my 5 hour train ride through the country side. We are hanging with our good friend…

Before I leave for my trip I really wanted to write about something non-trip related. So here goes. I had one of the best experiences I’ve had in a long while yesterday. After much hesitation I agreed to volunteer at this after school Christmas function for under privileged children. The hesitation wasn’t because I don’t…

I’ve had such a mixed sense of emotions the last couple of days. It seems as if I have these constant feed of uber positive, but also extremely negative things happening all at once. My classes have been fun and interesting. I really enjoy drawing and Arabic lit is easy enough to be tolerated. Tissue…
