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!

Happy Birthday, Stephen!!

After a final tour of Lingotto and the IBC, we headed off to Pragelato, which is where I’ll be working for the next month. JD and Josh came with me, although they don’t begin work yet, they just wanted to see the mountain.
What should have been a one and a half hour bus ride became […]

Just a quick update: I’m sitting on the hard tiled floor of what has become the Asbury apartment in Italy. Brandon Bigham is renting it for the length of his contract, which is from like January 20 - March 3. However, dozens of people are coming and going at different times, and that makes it […]

It’s 8:45 on Thursday night and we’ve made a small change in plans. Instead of heading to Torino tomorrow morning, we’re going there tonight. We figured that it’s better to travel while it’s dark and get in a full day tomorrow, since it’s a five-hour train ride. Venice was still beautiful today, and San Marco’s […]

It’s 10:45pm and I’m sitting in the deserted (not desserted) kitchen of my new hotel in Venice.
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 […]

Well, I realized that I never gave a clear link to my photos. Plus this layout is messed up in IE, and I’m sorry about that, you’d think I’d take the time to fix it, but I have a few other things to do…
Anyway, you can always see my latest photos at Flickr. Tonight’s pizza […]

Well today was my last day in Rome. We’re leaving tomorrow to head for Venice. The train ride will be almost 5 hours, which kind of stinks, but there should be plenty of nice countryside to watch, and maybe I’ll get another book. The first day here I bought The Great Train Robbery, which I […]
