My First Week In Europe...

Ahh....one week down, 2 to go. As I write this, I am sitting in a wine bar bar, drinking cheap Cab and enjoying Italian techno music. And it's only 6 pm...

Anyway, my first week in Italy ended with a touch of drama and getting lost. The drama meant I parted way with my new friends, but such is life. I'm sure I'll stay in touch w/ 1 or 2 of them. It's a long story as to what happened, so if you really want to know, email me.

The getting lost actually wasn't a bad thing, but aa GREAT thing. I wasn't planning on it, but I ended up in Venice. This city is so unique and beautiful. In a way, I wish I lived here. To make a long story short, I got lost and I mean LOST... The city is so confusing with alleyways, bridges, and plazas. Fortunately, I made my way back to my hostel and now I'm quietly settling in for the night.

Tomorrow, I plan on really taking in the city of Venice (only I'll take a map with me) and then I'm off to Paris on an overnight train...
