    Journal entry March 29th 2009: Ciao Ragazzi! Come state? Io sto bene, ma oggi é una brutta giornata. Il tempo é freddo, piove c’é anche la nebbia. Terribile.

  • Personal Notes

    Personal Note: 2009 March 25th. I thought I’d prepared myself for this trip mentally and physically.

I said my goodbye preparing…

  • Wednesday in a strange city.

    Journal March 11th 2009. A beautiful, golden rayed day, streams of gold falling into rare, glimmering pools of light and warmth.

Tomorrow more fun at a…
