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.

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.
