Me with the Colloseum
I didnt visit it this nice sunny day; i waited for the rainPeople are so amazing. The other night at dinner I met a Swedish man who walked from Zurich, Switzerland to Assisi, Italy. It took him 35 days. I am so amazed by this. And I wish I had done that. Then I met another man at breakfast who was a shepherd in Corsica. His whole life was to look after 500 sheep. The stories and passions and the experiences of all these people blows me away. The very thing I was hoping to escape in Silicon Valley, i.e. the same thing/people/experiences day in and day out has greeted me with open arms on this trip. I have not met one engineer yet! woohoooo!
I am currently in Rome. Yesterday I did a whirlwind tour with these two Brazilian girls around pretty much everything other than the Vatican. If I play my cards right, I may even get to see the pope on Wednesday. we shall see. However, its a little challenging walking from 9am to 9pm when I havent slept in 3 days (hostel life is hard!).
bye now
