May 12th: Napoli to Rome...I Hope

...
I dropped my phone in the water while kayaking today.
While is misleading.
After I finished kayaking, eating some Italian potato chips, trying to take a picture of the bag because...just because...I dropped it in the water.
Quick! I thought. Turn it off!
I did but the water made it glitch in a way where it kept turning back on! Then off! Then on! Ad infinitum.
I've hooked it up to my comp and it appears to be working. iTunes (wait a second...when I start a sentence with iTunes-would it be correct to make it ITunes? Food for thought) had a backed up version from January 12, 2012. wtf. We'll see.

So I'm in Napoli still. Waiting for phone to reload my odd collection of Musical Theater, Pavarotti and Hardcore Rap. It's not really hardcore rap...I just wanted to sound cool. It is a LOT of Eminem. Some Tupac...but once again I just have that there to be cool. Mission accomplished.

So I'll get into Rome pretty late. Should I try to go to a Discotech??!!


I've actually learned a few things about travelling in the last week. None of this is profound or new but it's going to inform the rest of this trip:
1. Do active things. One can only look at so many landscapes. The best moments so far have been Kayaking and climbing Mount Edna.
2. Try to meet people. This is not my specialty in life-I'm the sit in a corner and watch Mad Men type of guy.
3. Ration out Mad Men. I've seen them all now. I feel empty inside.
4. Stop watching Mad Men and meet people, Gianmarco.
5. READ MOBY DICK! I SEE YOU PLAYING IPHONE GAMES! Well you can't now so Ha!

Hope everyone is well. Thank you for reading.
