My trip is nearing a close! During my stay in Venice my family saw many museums and churches. We went on a gondola ride, and ate plenty of gelato and pasta. Today, on our way to the train station, an old Italian man hobbled his way toward us, yelled at us, and pointed his finger vigoursly at the correct maze to get to the train station. Only a minute later he caught up with us again around another corner and yelled us in the right direction...once again. I think it was obvious we were lost tourists. Too bad I didn't have a map and compass to do some orienteering!!!

Day 86 (written day 87)
This morning I woke up and finished my Spanish story, along with the math work. I watched the end of Kill Bill vol. 2 before heading up to brunch, where I was faced with the terrible prospect of not having any eggs with vegetables. There were cheesy eggs, so that was something. Brigitte told me not to do dish crew, so I rang the bell and asked; Yoyo answered.
After brunch I went to the library and did work, or internet. After a bit I went back down to Miles to start my History outline. I played guitar, practicing Get Back and a few new pieces. Indie and harder rock. Around 2:45, Isaac, Rafi, Taylor and I went to Conard to play songs; I got a ride up in a cart while Isaac pushed. We arrived uptown to see Hallie finishing her interview (on the way up we were joined by Adrija). We hobbled in, or at least I did, and had Taylor, Rafi and Isaac play first in Jack's house. Maddy, Adrija, Hallie, Yoyo, Megan B, Caitlin, Steph, Claire and I chilled in the common room working on History and singing Once In A Lifetime and Reelin' In the Years.
Our recording of Wagon Wheel did not go over so well; everyone was just off. Back in the common room, Hallie gave me a packet of peanut butter and Patrick and Jake joined us. Adrija recorded next, and Hallie and Maddy got pwned by copyright issues trying to record Hey Jude and Hallelujiah. My solo instrumental was the last piece, after Claire's harp. We dashed to dinner, getting a ride in Jack's pickup, passing people from Underwood and arriving a bit late for Alden's humble, which seemed to be talking about notes in the margins of used books.
Dinner was pizza, and I believe I sat with the Halsey-Leckerlings, as I have been doing for several days now. Or at least several meals. Or at least a few. After dinner, there were distractions from work in the library, such as Yoyo going crazy over a Newsweek article and Phoebe just being her crazy self. It ended with watching the first half of Mean Girls . In the dorm, I caught up on my journal and started outlining ideas for English. Read a little bit of Color of Magic before sleeping.
