It’s 9:50 in Pragelato, Italy, and I am exhausted. It seems like a month ago that I was relaxing in Venice, and about three years since I last enjoyed a Cozy Burger. That said, while I miss my home(s), I am in the midst of the most exciting opportunities. More importantly, the experience is showing […]

I’m more exhausted than I’ve been in a long time, but I really hope to post a longer entry tomorrow. Things are amazing and I can’t wait to tell you about them all. But my eyes need to be open for that. Goodnight!

Now, I promised pictures of the beautiful Italian countryside earlier, but as soon as I got out my camera (after Florence), Italy pretty much turned into Missouri. Very flat, and kinda brown. I did have a great time eating […]

Right now I’m traveling north from Rome to Venice on a train that has some very comfortable accommodations. We’re in a little set of three seats, two facing one direction, and one facing the opposite. There’s nobody in the seat next to mine, and there are two outlets on this little tray thing in front […]
