Descent onto Italy

Its different. Germany is like visiting an alternate universe. Its strange but familiar. Italy feels sounds and looks different.

I did not manage to sleep, the night before. Nerves, being out of sorts, and upset, of having lost my phone charger.

So, I pushed off, through the rain, The flight was delayed twice. The Aitalia check in desks were not working, but besides that it was fine flight.

I managed to pass throu

Very beautiful, American student, across from me at Rome airport. Looked like Claire from lost. I hoped the young lady would avoid Perugia….

At Florence airport. After having to go through customs channel for an internal flight. The Italians, found it necessary to ask people where they travelling for business or pleasure

From than I took the bus, After missing the first bus, it had a bus in front of the stop. I travelled into Florence

Keep seeing girls on scooters, charming but strange

Arrived at the station in florence. Got on a train to Sienna. Despite the guide book, I did not have to change. I did have to dash for the train!

Than a taxi to my hotel.

A moment difficulty when the people at the front desk, suggested I left my passport with them, while I checked, in.

They carried my bag, to my room

Oh its a room with a view

 

 

Tried to nap, for a bit. Than I went for a walk.

Its a beautiful old town. Reminded me of Monpellier. The same maze of old streets. I kept getting lost.

THE WORST THING ABOUT ITALY IS EVERYONE SMOKES, AND IT SEEMS TO BE REALLY GOOD TOBACCO! REALLY GOOD STUFF.

I went to the main square. I had a beer, and a pizza. An American girl, will not be wearing white on her wedding day

I used one of those old fashioned, open air, WC’s

I came home, by 11. slept till 6pm

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
