I went on a family vacation for my nanas 80th this summer in Italy. Florence was my favorite city we saw. Traveling with extended family proved to be overwhelming so I broke off from the group and found this library / movie theatre, and decompressed by watching some of moulin rouge. I think about it often. ps i don’t wanna be thought of as a dweeb for replying to my own ask

I went to Florence a couple of summers ago on a college writing fellowship! My highlight list: -Seeing Michelangelo's statue of David in person. -Eating street sandwiches with fresh baked focaccia and mozzarella...yum! -The Galileo Museum that houses his telescopes and also his middle finger (lol).

This was my first trip out of the country once I got my green card. My wife and I wandered the streets safely, ate more carbs than we should have while losing weight (???), looked at art and buildings that were around when Rome was still running gladiator battles, and met strangers for drinks at a bar and stayed there for 6 hours talking about life. Truly my fave trip. We did Florence and Rome and…errrr…I forget the name but it’s the place with all the islands. 10/10 trip. Reach out if you need any recs.

I can’t express enough how beautiful this country was and how much I highly recommend doing the thing you’ve always wanted to. I stayed for just over a month, because if staying in an apartment there for a month was less than a big city in the United States, why not? I went everywhere from La Spezia, Cinque Terre (Corniglia pictured), Florence, Rome, Pisa, Lucca, Milan, etc. Take the trip, life is too short!!

ah yes now it is time to sleep. I like the act of blowing it out as well as the smell that follows. I do however find myself anxious to not accidentally fall asleep while it's lit, sometimes I wish I could sleep with it still going.

The past three days I have gone on bike rides with my 80 year old grandfather. He leads the way. We saw some chemtrails over cranberry bogs, he took me to his blind friends house, when we went past a speedometer and he clocked 12mph , I said he almost broke it and he nearly fell of his bike with laughter.
