Rome to Athens (no pictures!)

Fuckin too much has happened to do justice to it, but we saw Rome and frankly Barcelona is cooler and more laid back, despite the fact that more Italians spoke English to us.

The Colloseum, Vatican and Ancient CIty were predictably awesome, including the Sistine Chapel and a huge collection of art and sculptures from the founding of the Roman empire and before.

Pompei was also cool, although my taking a dump at the bathroom there was possibly the worst public restroom experience of my life (no toilet seat, nothing to hold on to, no soap...)

These tiny sentences of course do no justice to the majesty of any of it, and that is something that some of you may just have to wait until I type up my complete journals, which have been keeping track of all day to day activities.

I unfortunately left my camera with Justine when we parted ways (another interesting story), so I have no pictures of the beautiful boat ride from Brindisi to Athens, or all the wild and crazy people I met (i have the e-mails to prove it though, and all I can say is...damn, I love making friends in foreigin countries).

And now I am in Athens at my hostel Hotel Lozanni, which you can find on google earth by simply putting in its address, which you can also find by googling because I have somebody waiting to use the computer so I must go!

Kalinichta,

P.S. There are several pidgeons whom I am sure I could punch did I feel like it.
