transomwhiplassI don't know if the beach was entirely worth it, though swimming in the Mediterranean was beautiful and the two days combined were quite decadent--Heidi would approve. The view of the town was incredibly breathtaking from the water. Sperlonga is a hill town sprawled downwards by the obvious popularity of the beaches (I believe it used to be the coastal retreat of an Emperor, once upon a time). The girls were really impressed with the town. I thought it was quaint because I know they are way more picturesque coastal towns. Travel was a bit of a hassle and I wound up with a nasty sunburn.
Swimming really made me think of Colin since we were going to try to make it to the coast before I left. I think he would have enjoyed treading water and exploring the gigantic sand bar with me. Next time.. I swear. *Le sigh*
The evening resulted in some hearty drinking, if I say so myself. I can't believe I made my first legal purchase and didn't even realize it a few days ago (at the train station). Oh well. The "Breezers" (like the malt liquor drinks at home, or "Bitch Beers" as more fondly referred to--except here they use real rum) consumed with a couple bottles of wine. The words flowed like the bottles. Relationships were discussed in gritty detail, fun times. What's funny is in the end I didn't feel any closer to the girls than before. I knew more about them (geez, than I cared to, honestly) but I'm certainly not much more fond of them. Carly is fun but the other two grate my nerves. I felt pretty ignored the whole time and a little babied (wow, because I'm a few months younger than them. I hate the 21 threshold. It's just awkward.) Oh well, I guess those first few days were the bonding/attachment days and I missed out. What can you do?
Today I drew a lot whilst revisiting our sites. i have no clue how I'm going to approach this project--the sites are tiny. One of them pretty much sucks in every way because it's on an insanely busy road and metro construction is blocking the views of the surrounding area--difficult to access and observe. Anyway, the next few days we are going on walking tours with this bizarrely, humorless/oblvious old man. Joy! I am actually excited to se the island tomorrow so I shouldn't talk. He seems knowledgable but as Tice's colleague, it's maps this and maps that. Anyway, I have to create some models pronto and figure out how/if I am going to transfer my drawings. It's hard to get time to type up these entries because I'm online for only short spurts and I usually just want to reply to emails and chat with people when possible. I don't have time for much more. Talked to Colin, I hope he gets sent out soon so he isn't trapped home alone. it sounds kind of miserable there. However, the rest of me is worried about not hearing from him and any accidents and dangers befalling his pretty little head. Talk about hazard that come with firefighting in the goddamn forest. Oh well, we all must do what we must do.
