I have been keeping a journal of the stuff I do each day and the places I go. When I get home, I will type them up and put them up on here – I don’t want to spend all of my time here on the computer typing stuff out… for now, I write in the journal when I am doing other things like riding trains or waiting for laundry to dry.

I’m in Florence right now, and I’ll be here one more night. I think I am going to head to Cinque Terre which is a bit south of Genova. If Garmin extends my start date, then I may stay in Florence an additional night depending on how the rest of this day goes (I plan to rent a bike and explore some of the destinations that are a bit further away from the center of the city).

Anyways, I’m having a really good time here in Europe even though I still haven’t managed to break out of Italy – the people are great, the food is great, and there is so much history all around you. If I trek towards Cinque Terre, that will put me near Nice, France which has nice beaches and is on the way to both Paris and Barcelona by train.

Ciao!
