No time to finish to posts now… The internet café is closing and kicking me out. Paul, thanks for your summary!
Note from Paul Tuesday, April 16, 2002, 7:00 am (EST) Location: Brooklyn, New York This is a brief summary of the rest of my trip in Spain, from Kelly’s flight back to Toronto on Tuesday, April 9 until my departure on Sunday, April 14. (Kelly’s description of our trip to Santiago de Compostela, after the […]
20:05 Location: in front of the church in Civita’s square It’s 8pm, and Civita is closing its doors and going home. There are a few residents here–at least, lights on in a few houses suggest there are–but the streets are, for the moment, occupied only by the last of the film crew to pack up […]
Tuesday, April 16, 2002 12:03 Weather: Sunny morning, but the clouds are moving in Location: Civita square I woke up early and had a shower. I wanted to get out and see the area before the light got too flat. I was also expecting Franco to show up at any minute, hoping for a coffee […]
20:19 Location: Civita B&B dining room, Civita di Bagnoregio, Italy Well, as you’ll gather from the location, I made it. (See the first post for today for an explanation).

Monday, April 15, 2002 14:40 Weather: Sunny, and warming up Location: Car 3, Intercity 591, sitting in Florence station Amazing, the power of the written word. Three hours ago I was leisurely finishing the paper over a cappucino, planning to spend the afternoon on some palaces, wandering up the Duomo’s bell tower, etc., when I […]
Ok, looks like I may be able to get to Civita this afternoon. Must go make a phone call to the hotel there. More later…

Sunday, April 14, 2002 12:52 Weather: Partly cloudy… and partly rainy. Location: Fiaschetteria restaurant My bad. No journal entry for yesterday so I have some catching up to do. I woke up bright and early yesterday and was actually the very first to arrive at the Uffizi museum. Since I hadn’t yet eaten, I wandered […]
Friday, April 12, 2002 23:20 Weather: Rainy morning, cloudy afternoon. Location: Room 3, Auberge Montreal, Florence. A very full day, but as it’s already late and I have to get up very early I’m going to try and keep this short. I headed out of Vernazza on the 9.12 train to La Spezia, in the […]
