Bumpy Streets, Aching Feet and oh my only Day Two

Saturday, December 31st, 2005
Okay, so I didn't accomplish nearly as much today as I figured I would but it was a nice day. Last night when I got back, I met one of my (barely) room-mates, a guy (I swear) whose name was Tito ... [Continue reading this entry]

Doing it like the Romans?

Saturday, December 31st, 2005
First off, if you see any weird characters or out of place symbols, blame the Euro keyboard for having characters I'm not used to in the place where I'm used to characters I need. I had less trouble with UK ... [Continue reading this entry]
