I made it back to London, A-OK. After 8 hours of travel from Florence to Pisa to London, I slept like a babe. Too much too tell about Siena, Florence, and Pisa, three rather famous cities with many blaring similarities. Siena, I've written about already, but a retrospective and reflective side of me knows its too cool to skip over. Such a relaxing city for Italian standards. Its much like Florence, its often over-shadowing cousin-city. But Siena maintains its calm when tourists flood this city in October. I never felt like keeping a hand on my wallet there, not did I [View Full Entry]

ILL ADD MORE PICS TOMORROW, FRIENDS. Wow. I've finally made it back to Italy. It has been two years since I studied in this fine country and now I have the opportunity to see someplace new. Siena is a really cool town, with skinny and narrow (synonyms, i know) streets made up of buildings that seem too old to count. In the center of town is the enormously wide-open Piazza Il Campo. Front and Center of the Piazza is a giant boner of a tower too tall to easily focus ones vision on, because looking up at it one also see [View Full Entry]

So its the jewish year anew today, Shana Tovah! Rosh Hashanah, "Head of the Year" in Hebrew, has led Mellers and myself to the world famous Kaballah centre in London. A 5 hour ceremony was held, and by god my dogs are barking. The service was a mix of orthodox style praying (purely in Hebrew at 500 words-per-minute) and some newage Kaballistic ideology, where talks about energies, and accepting light into our lives, and how not to "short-circuit" in our daily lives pushed the energy higher and higher. Many of the themes were moving, as they helped calm the soul, allow [View Full Entry]

Stonehenge rocks! -British Heritage Society Beyond the simple sarcasm denoted above, it really does rock. 7000-5000 years back, giant stones had been brought from a "magical forest" 150 miles away in Wales, which was an unbelievable distance at that time, for it was done completely manually, without any real advanced system of technology. The stones which each weigha few tons were erected in circular fashion to create a temple/calendar/powerful throne. The thing is, there is a lot of mystery to stonehenge because there is no written history ANYWHERE about stonehenge, an [View Full Entry]

For starters, Melanie got a cell phone (aka mobile in British) and can be reached at any time at 011-44-789-632-7626 (where 011 is to call out of the states, 44 is England's Code, and the 789... part is here actual cellie number) Please call us, it'd make our days. Anyways, here's the blawg. Hey all, I'm not doing too poorly on the blogging front am I?

It seems like me writing in this journal [View Full Entry]

Hey all, thanks for reading my post from Yesterday, I hope its coherence came through, as I was a little sloppy for the Strongbows and Becks. Here are some pictures for you all to see. I have many, many more pictures, and how much imagery I can get across to you I don't know, but I will try, just give me time. Thanks for the love those of you that have left me messages, I do miss all of you, although I'm equally happy to be away seeing new places and meeting new people with different philosophies and driving forces behind [View Full Entry]

Tis been two days, two drunk days. I think I'm an englishman. I've been caught drinking endless Strongbows, John Smiths, and Guinesses. I've been recruited by the local cricket team (more explained below) I've been known to say "Howa ya, mate". I haven't yet eaten fish and chips, but I've learned that its not considered normal pub food. Instead it's Chilli Chicken, Monkfish with veggies, and Pidgen Lardens. My sister's good friend from San Rafael used to date a bloke named Alex, with whom we're staying here in Chalgrove village 45 minutes from London. He lives in a "village" of 350 [View Full Entry]

So, no, I haven't actually left the country. I know this is a "traveljournal" but I have real important info to parlay, so I thought I'd do it anyways. My good friend Betsy Riley, co-student in Ms. Murgetroyd's 8th grade class from hell, told me to put up this picture of yours truly in one of his world famous sexy poses. Thanks Betsy, and tell your Bolognese roommate that I'm single, and will be in Bologna soon. Note Gadiel's hideously short hair. Glam rock till I die.
