Greetings from Rome.. What a sad and happy day for me!!! Sad cause it marks the end of 3 months here in Europe!! Happy cause, hello!! I am coming home!!! Yeehaw! I think the happy side outweighs the sad side by a few hundred pounds.. Europe is going nowhere and I will be back.. but right now, I would love to be home!! Eating healthy, throwing a frisbee with my dog, climbing, speaking American English and doing so audibly and proudly.. I am in Rome right now.
I went to the US Embassy today to get my passport. That's a long story, but basically - I left mine back at a hostel in Lisbon, Portugal. I had it sent to Granada, Spain and waited as long as I could before having to leave on a train for Rome and my flight home. So I brought my photocopy in to the embassy to get an emergency replacement to get home. It will be ready for pickup in four hours.. Everything there is quite mellow. There was not another soul in site and no one seemed on gaurd, so that was relieving. Rome is nice today. The weather is very much that of autumn. The air is cool, crisp and even seems a bit clean remarkably.. or maybe it is just my euphoria that is making it seem so!
I am staying right across the street from the train station and it will take me right to the airport tomorrow morning, so really it is easy going from here... and I will be in my house by the lake with Seamus tomorrow.. Due to the fact that internet access is much easier from here than it will be in Myrtle Beach, I wanted to make a quick side note to all Salt Lakers... I will be home around the middle of December and will still be homeless... what is this, year 4? Anyway, if any of you are going to need me for dog, cat, house sitting.. let me know now... otherwise, I am going to start looking for a proper place to live... you know how it goes with me.. I get so many dog sitting jobs.. and I can never say no cause I love doing it.. then I'll end up paying rent and bills but never be home.. And on the flipside of that.. if anyone knows of a place needing a kind little renter and her perfectly perfect house dog, let me know about that one too! Oh, the life of a vagabond! By the way, the boy dog, Seamus, comes with high references from several who will attest to his respectable house manners... including my parents who have let him move in and take charge in their own home for these last few months...
Well, shit there goes my time on line and this is it! I have my passport now!! Got it a few hours ago and will be on the plane in the morning!!!! So, goodbye Europe and I will drop you all a line from the mainland! love, loyalty and friendship to all!! rai
