I left my now good friends Susan and Tom this morning. They were wonderful and were almost like my personal taxi service taking me to and from the train station, into town, picking me up from my hike, everything! I had a hard time leaving them this morning.
I arrived in Vicenza, Italy this afternoon. Found my hostel, which is quite empty and bland. This is ''holiday'' time in Italy, so everyone is on vacation and the city is empty and many businesses are closed. This is leaving me quite lonely and missing social interaction.
Since everything is close, it took me a while to find an internet cafe. I found one full of adolescents yelling back and forth at each other as they played a synchronized killing game. I cannot get my headphones loud enough!
I leave Vicenza tomorrow morning. I am meeting up with a family member, Paola, that my father connected me with. She is going to take me to Treschè Conca tomorrow, which is where my father's father family is originally from. I have been looking forward to this for many years. So, hopefully I will have good stories and pictures to share with you soon.
Please post a comment and a virtual hug. I miss you all.
