I usually read 2 travel books on the area before I go. Also, no peeing on electric fences. Yes, lots of research. I usually read 2 travel books on the area before I go.

I think I was thinking a little of your descriptions of Italy's alleyways. Sometimes it's nice to take it easy on one of these trips or at least mix in some slow days. My trips with Uncle John & the cousins were usually quite full. Sometimes it might have been too packed, but often I was glad to squeeze in as much as possible. As long as it wasn't too overwhelming. I might only make it to this place once. When you wrote ‘peering through fences ‘ I totally read ‘peeing through fences’. I think I was thinking a little of your descriptions of Italy’s alleyways.

So when Kendra and I were in Rome for a week, we only paid to get into one place - the Vatican. The rest of the time we just spent walking around looking at history, enjoying the culture, eating gellato, peering through fences at ancient ruins, looking at sculptures, and deciphering secret messages inside cathedrals. One can get very (VERY) disappointed if the agenda is too packed (Liverpool, the Cotswolds, Straford upon Avon, and Warwick castle? all in one day? are we crazy?).

And meeting women." Though i will pass on the women bit. :-) Went to Europe last summer with George, just because it was there. I don't like the pressure, I like the laziness of travel, riding public transportation, eating weird and random things, and wandering to and fro. I prefer to avoid the more reformed exact methods of travel that agencies provide. I would rather be stuck on a Czech metro smelling a locals armpit then stuck on a tour bus with a whole bunch of crazy Americans. On that special note...George's armpits smell marvelous in case anyone wants to know. I hate whiners! While traveling I heard several whiners, particularly Americans. I felt like telling them to chill, enjoy. So what if they missed the train and had to catch the next train, enjoy. A true traveler must enjoy any weird change to ones schedule and take in stride. The universe will not end and one may even end up on a grander adventure! Revel in the then, you will never be caught in that exact moment ever again.
