lucca is probably one of the most beautiful places i've ever been in my life. there are walls that surround the entire city, and this afternoon i sat with my feet hanging over the edge in the sun while i did my (insane ammount of) art history reading, and thought about how easily i could tumble over. the view from the edge is fantastic, and i've tried but a digital camera doesn't have the ability to capture what sitting there looking out over what used to be a moat to protect the city actually looks and feels like.
the sun here is the most intense, harsh thing i've ever experienced, and the other day in pisa i burned right through my spf 70 sunscreen. sarah and i are almost perfect traveling companions, and it's funny to realize that i can read her and predict her moods as well as someone i've known for years. when we were in paris she asked me if when we met someone had told me that in less then a year i would travel so far with her, let alone share a bed for two months, if i would have believed them. i wouldn't have.
i start my drawing class on wednesday and i feel nervous - when i'm out of my element art doesn't come easily to me. the other day in florence i bought tons of chracoal and some beeswax, and having them in my possesion has helped a little bit.
when it comes time to leave it's going to break my heart a little i think, but i miss brooklyn so much that it'll be ok.
