first star on the right and straight on til morning.

And I fly home from NeverLand tomorrow. Sad I know, (a tear falls onto the key board, the guy next to steve looks at him strange and thinks to himself "crazy American")
But I guess one can't stay in Neverland forever.
Its be awesome!! its been the Adventure I was looking for! As my Odyssey comes to a close I do feel a little like Homer. Seen and done things that no one will believe, I have conquered giants and Cyclopes. And now I am on my way back home after finding what I needed to find, after doing what I needed to do, in my own way, and in my own time.

My greatest fear is that I have not changed, that things will be the same when I get back. If I have not changed on this odyssey of mine then I did something wrong. I feel that I have changed, so I just hope that the world has changed as well. At least a little bit. Haha. For a changed man to go back to the same land finds himself lost. I may have been lost out here, now I am found, I just don’t want to be lost back home.

The things I have learned here I could not have learned any other way. This trip, this odyssey, this adventure was probably the best thing I could have done this summer. I have progressed in the best way that I could have this summer. And the words “what if” or “should have, could have, or would have” will not flow out of my mouth because I did what I set out to do. I have climbed my mountain and I have dreamt my dreams. I accomplished my goal(s), and I will never utter the words “I failed”

Can you say the same?

Luxembroug to Normandy to England

So I have been in Luxembourg last day or so. I came here from Venice Italy because I thought it would take me longer to get back to London then it did. That train ride was long and tiring but its all good now.
Tomorrow I am going to Normandy to see the D-Day beaches then I am taking an over night ferry to England where I will be for a day or so and then I fly home this Friday the 16th.

Italy has great things to see but the people suck

hahahah
so I once wanted to learn Italian but now I dont. Italy has great things to see but the people here are jerks.
Spencer and I went into this place just to see if they had something we wanted to eat. They didnt so we left but the guy came out and yelled at us for a few mins. because we just came in and walked out without talking to the guy. Yesterday a women yelled at us at the store have no idea what she was saying. yesterday and today the train people yelled at us. I sure hope they feel better because we had no idea what they were saying.
Italy does better then France on the scale of who are the bigger jerks. and that is saying something. Worse than the French? wow good job Italy. that is something to hold up your heads about. Sorry to all my Italian friends, but its true, about 95% of Italian people freakin duch-bags!!

No but today was a great day. We went to Pompie and spent about 6 hours there. It was awsome, saw just about everything there! it was great. Tonight we ate bread, meat and cheese. A typical meal for me. haha so other than stupid Italian people today was great!.

The beach at Rome

ahhhhhhh
what a good day. went to the beach with a guy that I met at the hostel. it was great, sunbathed went in the water. Later I pulled out my guitar and my buddy pulled out his harmonica and we jammed out for a few hours. People around us really like it. So that was cool.
so it was just a good relaxing day.
tomorrow I think I will try and have a day trip to Naples. I dont know what there is to see there but hey I have one more day before Spencer gets here so I have to do something. ha
Well everyone, hope all is well. I am not sure what life is like for you with work and school and family and the like. I dont really worry about life right now, soooooo I guess just think about me when your life gets to stressful cuz I like this no life thing I have going on is pretty sweet!
