Gods, but the Venerable City of Augusta Praetoria is small.

Telling the truth I've been here once before, but I was like eight years old so don't remember much. This round I've had little time for looking around, also was dark early and rained a lot, but I've wandered a bit anyway. The city is cute, all small alleys, stoney building and a a lot of Romans ruins. Oh, and the food is good! If you have to go there, I advice you to have dinner here.

Anyway, I have spent the last two days digging in some libraries, and I had even an appointment for this, how professional! (not really =P). A lot of people help me out in the quest, they have been really kind, so in the end I've found what I was looking for. Maybe it sound daft but I'm surprised about this stroke of luck, I was half-expecting to go home empty handed! Instead, I think I've enough material for my research, even if the most useful of the articles (a book, really) is in German. Bloody German! At least I can use some of the documentation, like the plans and similar, translating the captions with Google Language (wish me luck...).
Good, I've only to write my paper now (ouch!).

EDIT: going around seeing new places, even for only a couple of days, even alone, for me is better than any therapy! I have to remember this.
