All is good now. What a shit show it ended up being for us to catch the hi speed train. Couldn’t buy tickets at a fucking ticket booth! The guy told us to go to a certain website to procure tickets. For some reason it wouldn’t take Jason’s card. Thankfully, it worked with Matt’s. Thus …
Yet again my sense of direction fucking fails me. I ended up taking the “scenic” route back to the hotel tonight. I had a brief blowout with my brother regarding the train to Paris tomorrow. We can catch one that is at around 8:30 in the morning and takes 3 hours or be fucking bums …
Currently sitting with Jason and Matt as they eat some oysters. I had a glass of champagne. We are seated outside and it’s a beautiful day as we sit by the port. Matt also ordered a couple of sea urchins. He told me try some. I refused at first but then he made a good …
Currently on our flight to Marseille, France from Palermo, Italy. During the day we went to some ruins. Segesta Ruins to be precise. It’s amazing how some of the things from back in the B.C. times still stand. There was some staging holding some of it up so they are trying to preserve it. It …
Woke up this morning suffering from the effects of all the wine drunk yesterday. Splitting headache and feeling like my brain was floating in water. After leaving the Enotecca we headed out for dinner. We ate at Al Portiecielo. I had spaghetti with bolognese sauce. I can tell the difference in the pasta here from …
Just about had four bottles of red wine at the same Enotecca we went to yesterday. You just can’t beat the view and the charcuterie plates are amazing. It’s well earned as we did do a real nice hike up a mountain that gave us a great view from above of the ocean and the …
After getting off the short flight from Rome to Sicily we rented our car. Matt had been interested in the seaside location of Cefalu. We were able to find it relatively easy, however, once we got further into the center it was a bit dicey. Now the roads in Ireland I’ve come to know as …
Currently, on our plane to head to Palermo. Matt has a car rental for when we get there so we can drive around and explore Sicily to the best of our abilities. Matt mentioned that Aleister Crowley has a home somewhere there. We may try to find it if we can. After dinner last night …
Met up with Jason in Munich, then took a flight to Rome. Took a quick nap in the hotel before rising again to shower and head into the city center of Rome. Jason and I checked out the Coliseum. It wasn’t as awesome as I’d expected to be honest. I was hoping to be able …
In terminal E10 at Logan airport. Getting ready to board in about 20 minutes. We had a bite to eat at Legal Seafoods and a few drinks. There was another patron sitting at the bar a few seats away. He had a nicely groomed mustache. A pornstache if you will. It got me thinking that …
