non parlo italiano

but it is beautiful here. apostrophe is hard to reach, so itàll look like this.

i went to see the vatican and st. peteràs basilica yesterday , er today, and it was humongous. just looking at all the statues of the saints made me wonder about how meaningful my life was, while these saints were out saving the world and overall being too godly for school. There was a statue of St. Peter with his right foot just off the pedestal, so pilgrims could rub it. It was so worn out it had one big toe and one huge toe. I wanted to just sit and listen to the latin mass, with the cardinal and his mysterious chants, but there wasnàt much time. THatàs what happens when youàre taking a whirlwind tour.

I think Italians and Europeans in general enjoy life more. They work fewer hours, eat dinner and linger at the cafes, just talking, and they drink and take strolls late at night. The streets are still full and itàs 11pm out in Rimini, just near San Marino.

One minute left to finish thoughts. I wouldnàt mind living here for a few years, just to soak up the slower pace of life. Itàs enchanting.

Daunte cullpepper, boo.
