Mike dropped me off just near the gas station at the corner of Massetana Romana and Cassia Sud last night. After collecting my things from the trunk, I managed to hang it all off one shoulder and headed down a narrow little sidewalk towards Buonconvento No. 26. I poked the doorbell a couple times, Lisa let me in, and I dropped the whole pile on to my new bed. Then I unpacked for the first time in fourth months. Though it's only for the month of November, it feels nice to have a little box I can call home. The bed is a bit saggy - more of a cot really - but when I finally fell asleep, it was for twelve full hours. I woke up utterly refreshed and more than a little chilly (Finding a suitable hat is next on the list). Lisa leaves for school pretty early in the morning and there wasn't anything to eat, so after a quick shower I began hunting for breakfast. The nearest bar is just down the road, right behind a dirty metal sign that advertizes: 'Parking + Bar this way' then an arrow that points in the opposite direction. The place was all but abandoned by 10 - the woman working there was sitting on one of the stools watching TV - but I suspect it's pretty busy in the morning. Beads are hung above the main door, and the only decoration behind the bar is a photo printed out on computer paper that's been taped to a bottle of scotch. It's a cell phone photo of a scoreboard that someone took last year. AC Milan : 0 | Siena : 1

well Nate you are still missed at our house, lol that bar sounds pretty interesting, you know they have high hopes when their highlight is a win in a soccer match....not a championship, simply winning a match hahahaha.

There's a bar, in Albany, called Wolff's Biergarten. And they only serve German beer and play soccer or rugby. A few weeks ago they had on AC Siena. I was so excited. And the bartenders asked me why I was so excited to see a bad team play. sighh

Nate
Yes! No. Maybe! Probably. Gosh, I'm not sure. Was that communicated well enough?

Your life is happy, I think.
