		<title>It&#8217;s all greek to me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Literally.
Though I had heard Greek for the entire 21 hour ferry ride (along with German, English, and Italian), it was a shock to emerge from the boat and not even be able to start pronouncing written words.  Thankfully street signs and such were in Latin letters too, so at least I knew where things were.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cont.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, what did I do in Naples?
I toured the Roman aqueduct, ate excellent pizza, pretended to be a Siren, wandered the water front, got lost.  Next day I toured Herculaneum, napped in the botanical garden, and climbed Mt Vesuvius.  Third day, I climbed the hill, got lost, toured some castles/palaces, and caught my train out.
No [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Adventure Begins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Naples.  Yes, Mafia capital of the world, but much more than that too.
For Spring Break I was too scared to go to Naples alone.  Now, it was only appropriate that I should begin my solo travels in that very place.  And it worked!  My fears were overcome: not just of traveling alone, but of Naples [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunset</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Riding home the sun burnt like a fire-ball over the Arno, seeming to spread crimson over the world.  The only cloud on the horizon turned florescent by the light, and chipper birds flying over head.  The city seemed calm and peaceful, no tourists clogging the streets stopping traffic, no people rushing home from work.  It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pieces of Heaven</title>
		<description><![CDATA[You know those magical moments, when everything seems perfect?  The lighting, the environment, the mood&#8230;  Well, I just had one of those,  during a stroll through the outskirts of Florence.  When I come upon moments like that, I walk extra slowly, take in every aspect of the moment, and store it all away for future [...]]]></description>

		<title>High School</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, I graduated two years ago already.  Time flies when ur having fun&#8230;
This week I did a presentation on the Italian school system for sociology class.  It is SO different.  It made me re-examine our system.  Then today I watched High School Musical 3 (lame, I know, but it was entertaining).  That gave me a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Second hand smoke</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case you didn&#8217;t know, Europe has a smoking problem.  It&#8217;s so extreme that the stratosphere is clouded with ash.  Oh wait&#8230; that&#8217;s from the volcanic eruption. The crazy volcano in Iceland has been erupting for too long low, and the wind has been blowing it in the wrong direction,  so air [...]]]></description>

		<title>The (that is, My) World is Changing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s sinking in&#8230;  Everything is about to change.
Finals are next week, then everyone I have gotten to know in the past four months is leaving.  I move in a week, I started work today, and even though a new semester starts in a few weeks, it will not be the same.
But it will be fun.
