So like wow...

My companions on this trip are Jessica, Trina, and Travis. I am quite lucky to have them here and we make a wonderful, awkward, dynamic group. There is a muralist an mosaic artist that works in Cinque Terre and Jessica went to investigate him while he worked on one of his murals. His name is Silvio Benedetto and he is from Argentina. Aside from being amazinly telented he is qute kind and offered us his studio in Rome for us to stay...yes that means a free place to stay in Rome for a week...did i mention it is in the center of the city? Aside from that he also invited the four of us to participate in a 3 week mural workshop starting on the 20th of this month. Although i won't be able to participate, i may come join for the first day then return next year to participate for the full program. It sounds amazing and i can converse with him freely with my spanish, but Fiesta is coming up, a potential Mexico trip in the coming weeks, along with the move to China on the 24th of August.

I am now in La Spezia on my way up the hill to Portovenere to hike and swim!!!
