The Small Triumphs

Friday, September 29th, 2006

Written at 7:38, 9-29-06 in Florence, Italy.

There’s not much to be said for the 24 hours following my previous post, at least not very much that’s positive. The most positive thing I could say is that I am no longer on the ferry and no longer in a train station in Venice or Bologna, which is where I spent the majority of the day.

Oktoberfest is Crazy

Friday, September 22nd, 2006
Written at 4:49 PM, 9-21-06 I’ve made a realization about the kind of hostels I like. After staying at a wide variety of hostels during my time in Europe—from the very big to the very small—I’ve realized that I really don’t ... [Continue reading this entry]

Lost Blogs

Friday, September 22nd, 2006
To all my friends and readers, you may have noticed that all of my blogs are gone back to August, just before I left for Europe. The website I use had some server problems and lost all the data. Not ... [Continue reading this entry]

Thoughts on Dachau

Tuesday, September 19th, 2006
Written at 6:31 PM, 9-19-06 A gray morning washed over Munich, like some titanic tidal wave come to carry away the city’s inhabitants. Sheets of rain, heartened by the wind, swept the wide streets, challenging even those with umbrellas to brace ... [Continue reading this entry]
