to live will be an awfully big adventure

everyday here is a grand adventure. the adventure might include extreme heat, or exhaustion, or getting lost, or buying beautiful things, but it is an adventure for sure.

on saturday kaeli and i went to venice to the peggy gugenheim museum, and it was a fantastic adventure. we got lost on the way there...and my plan was to ask for directions...only we didnt know the words in italian for right or left...haha...major oversight on my behalf. on the way back we got off at a stop we hoped was our friends house. it was like a mile off...so we walked forever in the blazing heat, and tried to use many broken pay phones. finally we went into a hospital and used their phone. we got back on the bus, and got off at the right stop...only an hour and a half late for lunch. ha!

today i had to ride a bike to the park...only i cant remember directions very well sometimes. all i remembered was...turn at the co-op. so, i rode around until i found one...and they all cheered for me when i arrived, without a single missed turn!! amazing.

we had a basketball tournament tonight, and it was fun to watch. i was the score keeper. Flavia...who plays for the Venician team in real life, was the referee.

then we rode around two people on a bike and had races in the parking lot...ice cream, and off to take cold showers. it is midnight, and the temperature is still around 87 degrees and humid. impossible to get cool to sleep in. last night i woke up with a horrible charlie horse in my leg, and my back has been killing me all day. Lord please help my back!! people just randomly dump water on themselves here, its so hot...no one cares. i heard that there is a drought.

thats all for now.
