During much of September 1994, I was living in the Italian town of Todi and walking around Umbria.

In Rome to get some financial papers notarized at the U.S. Embassy; then to Ciampino to send them from DHL's main office; lastly, go skate in Marino where I arrange for skating lessons with an Italian coach. Return to Todi past midnight.

Feeling unhappy, I shake it off late in the day and go wandering around Todi.

To Rome, where I at last find a bank to give me cash off my VISA; buy train passes. First skating lesson in Marino.

Walk to
Cecanibbi.
Come back to Todi and sit in the Piazza watching people.

Nothing much.

Yesterday I went to Rome, looked at the Arch of Constantine, the Colosseum and the Arch of Titus, and went skating in Marino. Today, nothing much.
|
|
Another day on trains to and from a skating lesson in Marino. Touch of flu.
|
|
Getting over the near-flu; depressed, nothing much.
