Caveat: doubting

Dateline:  Firenze

After leaving Trieste on Tuesday, I went to Bologna.  I liked it there, but found neither a hotspot nor an internet cafe, hence the long drought on communication.  I figured in Firenze, with all the tourists, I would find an internet spot, and sure enough….

Firenze is crawling with tourists, even in winter, with lingering bits of snow on the ground from the snow I saw here yesterday, passing through.  I liked Bologna better – a more lived-in, workaday city but with plenty of medieval charm. 

I'm not going to make a long entry here… suffice to say that I like Italy a huge amount, but have been feeling my solitude more accutely, too.   This huge internal pressure to "get on with my life" but without a clue what it is I most want to do.  Vagabonding around europe is fun, and fulfills certain long-held ambitions, but it's not, al fin y al cabo, much more than a way of killing time while I decide what to do next with my life.
