memories
lack of updates... i guess there just wasn't that much to say with work being the only thing in my life really...
but parents are here to visit and they bring memories with them.
Day Uno (3:17PM May 8, 2003) ROMA
As I write this first entry I am in a world of strange happy discomfort. exhausted from the hike to the hostel with all my crap (an impossible FOUR blocks) HA! I lay in a top bunk, in the same room as two french women who does not speak my tongue. they are sleeping, as I also drift towards slumber. The matress is so old and worn that i sink deep into it, my back bends, but i draw sleep from the exhaustion, as i suspect the case will be for the weeks to come. Italy is... exotic, that's for damn sure. I don't know quiet what to make of it all yet but soon I think I'll have a grasp of the whole 'hostel' thing, its all very enw and unknown to me, but all the people ever friendly. The good company makes up for the shitty lodgings i suppose. the shower was quiet the unexpected challenge. i don't know yet what hte appropriate level of 'modesty' is when sharing co-ed forms, but as i said, it'll come to me. today was very demanding on my problem solving skills. tomorrow i'll have some real fun.
PS: italian road names are hard to remember
looking back on those carefree days of travel... fills me with feelings that i can't place.
