i found my vaction journal from this summer. i stopped writing at the point just before andria, trissy, and i got lost trying to find la accademia in florence. i started writing again. it feels really good to remember all these places.
fortunately for this journal, i wrote up an outline on my old itinerary (and kept it around, thank goodness) so i can remember what happened on what day. keep the order straight. im sure i will leave stuff out, but thats what the journal is for, to spark those lost memories. ill remember getting lost near the Accademia forever, but just after reminiscing for a while, i remembered the room off to the side of David, where students of the Accademia have their sculpture on display. little pins sticking out where measurements were made to judge how accurate they were (or was it for something else?), or the africans selling posters just outside the door, packing up their wares everytime the police came strolling by.
that was the best vacation ever.

yeah. remember how frustrated we were cause we couldn't find the academia? but even the worst times travelling become great memories somehow. I keep telling people about the great sandwiches at Il Fratellini, eating in the street with a wine glass in my hand. happy, happy!
