Milan...

Hello!

we are in Milan. in an internet café right near central station where we deposited our luggage and are about to start a day in Milan before taking the night train to Rome.

We ended up back in france. dont even ask. we really do just love France that much. actually we ended up in Montpellier which is the city that the french security guards yelled at us for sleeping on the ground in the train station. Our °buddy° is a jack of all trades. not only is he capable of clearing out the °vagabonds° but apparently he also likes to man the bathroom to make sure everyone pays the fee. I was like, really. are you seriously everywhere in this station.

spenser read a book on the train yesterday (we were there for about 12 hours), I pestered him and stared at the window... took photos of sunflowers... journaled... hummed... attempted to entertain myself, and tried to figure out how we would get to athens (getting a bit low on travel train days). apparently his book referenced several of the places we have been on our trip and Virginia... I attempted to read a book about a serial killer called broken skin, attempted is the appropriate term.

the last two days have involved serious discussions of vegetarianism, since in France\Spain everytime I asked if something was vegetarian it usually involved chicken or fish. so I attempted a new tactic, °only vegetables° still... how about turkey? we are going out for pasta today I think... not exactly sure.
last night when we arrived we walked about a 4 block radius to find a hotel (Hotel Boston) and it was the cheapest by far... so tonight we're sleeping for 6€ on the train. AND SOON! We will be with Maria and baby Elsbeth.
