This is the first entry of this travel blog, which we plan to use to document our road trip across the USA. Santiago, Francesco, and I (Julio) are planning to travel from Amherst, MA, to Victoria, BC, stopping along the way in as many interesting places as possible. The trip starts June 30, 2008. Stay tuned! The first two pictures are of our trip to watch Argentina-USA at Giants Stadium in NJ on June 8, 2008. We stayed at a hotel nearby and had a good trip overall....except when we got all wet from a thunderstorm that broke during the last few minutes of the game.... I am also adding a few pictures from a recent trip to Israel, where I saw Sol, Serge, Sigal and Florence.... Un geee geee geee! Today we are in Toledo, ... read more

There's the whole question of audiences (i.e. Would it be for mostly for myself? Friends? Family?) and how I relate to each. I've decided for the moment to keep it as a kind of personal log, see how it develops, and then possibly release it. Totally ironic. I love it. That said, let's set the stage in black and white: 20 yr. old college student: blonde hair, fondness for vintage belt buckles, inept in some areas, yet too-ept in others, ex-ept, wrestler of angels, lover of philosophers (philos 'o philosophers?) and fools. The right and left sides tug at each other. A 20 yr. old contradiction. A one, Mrs. Duck. Some travel ... read more

I'm somewhere in between where I started and where I will arrive. This blog is being created in hopes that I will document my travels and be able to review them in the future. It's in a public blog just in case my friends and family want to review them as well. I arrived in Amherst yesterday from Eureka, CA. It was a long day of flying! It's cold and lovely here. It's always nice to return to someplace familiar and it's almost always easier for me to relax here when I don't have homework. On Thursday, my plan is to visit Washington DC and then to get to New York City on Saturday in order to leave for Athens! I'm nervous about visiting Europe for the first time. But I'm mostly excited. I have no ... read more
