Venice with Myia 30 years ago Myia's mother and I hitchhiked by Venice twice without stopping. In our youth we were in a mad dash to get to Greece via what was then Yugoslavia. Politics being what they were in 1976 Myia's mother wasn't allowed into Yugoslavia, but we did make it to Greece-the long way around- and managed to travel much of the rest of the world together. So it was a special treat that now, 30 years later on my first visit to Venice, my dear friend and traveling companion's daughter joined me to share the beauty of Venice. Isn't life funny!
Lucky girl! Myia! Have a wonderful holiday; it sounds enchanting already. There are more pieces of art in Florence than anywhere else in Europe! I loved your observations so far and you're in my mind every step of the way. Give my best to Marissa... Caio bella! -jw
Reflexology Salt in your wounds. This was hilarious; Myia you are wildly funny when you are sick. Not that I don't want you to get well, but you are fabulous when pitiful, dahlink. Now get well and ace that test...get your nose OUT of the novel, it is HALLOWEEN! aND NO MORE DETOURS TO THAILAND BY WAY OF ITALY. booooo!
Dear Myia I eat these sick "kisses" when I was a kid. Not my kind of good staff. Any time you need a big hug, I am giving it to you together with kisses(the original kind) love and Peace Fifi
Tall people Sounds like I would fit in just fine over there... I am 6'5". I just subscribed to your blogs and have enjoyed what you have written so far. Keep it up!
great pics Hi Myia: sounds like you've landed on your feet and took of running without any problems. I knew you would do just fine. I'm sure glad that you took the camera, keep taking the photos. Ciao Abba xo
Reading my way through your last few days Well, it looks like your making the best of your trip thus far. That sucks that your school stuff hasn't been sorted out yet but really, did you really go there to spend all your time pounding back beers in a classroom? The group of people you've talked about (The birthday party, walks and rides) seem to be awesome and that makes being in another country all the much more easier I would think. Your room looks to be the same size as my room in Grande Prairie... well, maybe a little bigger. They have Ikea there? Is like our stores here or is it different? I love enviroments where everyone can just sit down and enjoy each others company... something that North America should began to adopt. But alas, I hope to speak to you soon sweety and good writing so far... almost make me feel like I'm there.
Hello travel readers! I'm exploring the world and living in Whistler, British Columbia Canada. I've been in Whistler since November 2007 and love this place so much!
My adventuring continues this November as I backpack my way around England, Northern Ireland, Ireland, and Scotland. I'll be meeting people along the way that I've known for years and some that used to live with me in Canada. I'll try to update this blog as much as I can; wherever there's an internet point and when I need some sitting time from my normally non-stop travel routine.
