I have been in roma for nearly a month and have talk to next to no one.
so far i have seen some awesome shit and met some really cool, relaxed people.
my computer is slowly dying on me-hence the no photos in circulation.
ive been drinking a lot of wine and staying up until the birds begin to chirp and the sun rises over the balcony of my tiny apartment.

i feel suddenly at ease.
and understood.

ive been eating fresh, real food for the first time since i was a kid and my mom cooked my meals.
im losing massive amounts of weight.
and buying pants in europe is a challenge.

i got broken up with over skype.
three+ beautiful years put to rest over an intrenet phone.

i guess that puts things into perspective.

i have this amazing friend from home who made me a mixed cd for every week we'd be apart.
this week is beautiful.
and ive been listening to it a lot lately.
slow dance week. haha.

anyways.
i went to naples last weekend and had a blast.
wandered around pompeii all day.
danced in an italian bar, where the italians loved us and did all the stupid dances we did.
i spent my evening dancing crazy stupid dances with a boy that looked exactly  like bob dylan.
he even had a tiny harmonica around his neck.
at one point we got the dj to play a cake cover of i will survive.
this was one of the highlights of my italian life thus far.

i broke my baby toe again.
same one as last year.
and i was dancing in this italian bar with flip flops on-which is insaaaane to them!
and they all kept coming up and asking me if i was crazy.
all i could say was broken toe
and then still agreed i must be insane.
for dancing in flip flops until 6am with a broken toe

i cant begin to explain the simple beauties i have seen since ive been here.

wandering into the center of a piazza full of people playing drums and singing and dancing at 4 am.
just looking up and catching a glimpse of the stars and fully realizing where i was.
amazing.

so....tonight my roomie banana is cooking us all dinner and the wine is overflowing
my dad will be here in a few weeks and i am nearly in tears over excitment of him visiting me.
i cannot wait for him to see how easily and quickly i can adapt to a new place.
it feels good to be able to show this off.

i miss mckenzie grace and peyton o neail more than words can explain.
little tipsy.
whole lot of happy.

ciao for now
XOXO laura
ti amo
