A change in plan

So I had an absolutely wonderful time in Munich. I saw several operas and went to some really interesting art galleries, and got an autograph from my beloved Edita Gruberova (and learned how to actually pronounce her name!!).

I went into Innsbruck, Austria on Friday, and hated it. There wasn't much to do at the time (hiking and skiing trips leave at 8 every morning only) and I was feeling really homesick and lonely. I decided to take a major shift in my plans and take a night train down to Rome, which is where I currently am.

Yesterday was fun, and today was been great. I've been palling around with an Australian fellow named Dave, who has been a lot of fun. Tomorrow I'm going on a day trip to Naples and Pompeii, and then Tuesday I'll finish off Rome with a trip to the Vatican and St. Peter's. Next stop (in theory) is Siena, a quiet village south of Florence.

Well, that was a big shift in plans. But that handy Eurail pass makes it all possible, eh? You should have gone to Salzburg! Sound of Music tour, hello??? You should have done it just for me.

Buy me a rosary at the Vatican if you get a chance!

Mary and Dan and I are going to the midnight showing of Harry Potter! I looked it up and HP is released in Europe 7/11. Go see it in a foreign country! In Vienna, when you buy a movie ticket, you get an assigned seat. And in Amsterdam, you can buy a glass of beer. Not in no paper cup. (That's from Pulp Fiction).
