Hi everyone... So I got my hairs cut on Tuesday!! It looks awesome. My hair dresser was Italian, but she's been in London hair dressing for the last 2 years so she speaks fluent English. We had a grand time and she did a good job on my hair. She also invited me out for coffee and a walk so she can show me around Trieste (she's born and raised). Hurray! So Derek is in Granada and has already made some new friends (he's so good at that!). They headed off yesterday with a rented car to see the Sierra Nevada Mountains for 3 days!! I bet he's going to have a load of fun! Lucky boy! Just hope he doesn't free his little bum off since it's cold there (he says) and we ME ... read more

Hey everyone!! So everything has been fairly slow here in Trieste. Today it is very cloudy and gray, cold (but not in Northern Ontario terms) and rainy. There have been rumors that it will snow tomorrow... Wow. That would be nuts!! Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut!! Wahoo! I will post pictures when I get it cut... I am VERY excited. Derek is off to Venlencia today! It is very packed there because of some sort of festival so he might not be able to find a hostel or hotel but will camp instead. I miss him a lot... :( Yesterday I wrote this BIG, long rambling email about the crappy night I had before and then I pressed the wrong button and lost it all!! AHHHH. Yeah... That's fun. So instead I just took ... read more

"Senta que la vem historia!" - Castelo Miramare - Trieste

Gio e eu no Castelo Miramar

Senta que la vem historia

Em 27 de maio de 1864 atracava no Mexico (ex-colonia espanhola), por imposiçao de Napoleao III da França, o navio Novara, com dentro o Arquiduque austriaco Maximiliano Ferdinando de Habsburgo e sua mulher, Carlota da Belgica, nomeados Imperador e Imperatriz do México. Maximiliano de Habsburgo era irmao do imperador da Áustria, Francisco José e primo de D. Pedro II do Brasil. A famosa princesa Sissi era sua cunhada e nao participa da historia do Castelo Miramar senao em um enorme quadro ao lado do marido. Alias, os casais se odiavam, seja pela disputa de poder, seja pelas suas personalidades incompativeis. Estudando a Historia da Europa é facil entender de onde surgiu a idéia de cooperaçao comercial e de controle politico da atual Uniao Européia, com a diferença de que hoje ninguém é mais obrigado a ... read more

Drooling at our Celebration Supper

NelsonHippies

Sorry it's been awhile... (Do I always start like that?...) So! The farm has been good. Not so much in the way of adventures there. Alex is still driving everyone looney and everyone else is grand! So! Saturday Derek and I and Claire go into Valls for a day-off trip. Claire would like to find the swimming pool that is shown on the map and take a dip! I bring my bathing suit along as well for good measure. So we walk to where the pool is shown on the map. We circle the area (which is fenced), but cannot see the pool. There are footballers and such but no pool that we can see... Hmmm. Odd. So we go in to the outdoor complex (does that even make sence?) and asked 4 people where the ... read more

Geo: 45.8189, 13.176This morning I caught a bus to Credavagno, then a train to Trieste. Once in Trieste I caught a bus to Montemare, which is 7kms out of Trieste. I was here to see Maximillian's cliff top castle- excellent castle, love it, great location, has its own beach. Then caught the bus back to Trieste. Walked around the city, didn't appear to be much to see or do. Had lunch at a sidewalk cafe, while eating I was annoyed by a man trying to sell me a second hand looking book in Italian. i just shook my head, didn't want him to know what languages I spoke. Walked up the hill to the castle to find that it was closed for restoration. The castle had really good walls. Saw an old roman arch and arena ... read more

Ciao. So I am now in Italy. I met my friend Massimo this morning and am doing practical things while I wait for him to get off work. I UPDATED SOME OF THE PICTURES! I AM ALSO TRYING TO ADD SOME VIDEOS, but they arenàt there exactly yet! So look backwards. I still need to put pics up from the dead camera though. Quick update: After Pag, I was in Plitvice National Park in Croatia. I have since made it to Trieste, Italy where I am staying with my old colleague in Ireland named Massimo. It will be awesome to catch-up with him. He is the first person I have seen from my job in Europe since I left, and the third person on this trip that I knew before I got here. I will be ... read more
