[I uploaded at least two more pictures for each of the last two posts. Make sure to check them out!]

The twelve (minus two) toes are traveling again! Unfortunately, with the limited Wi-fi access, posting blogs have been difficult at best. The good news is that I’m constantly writing and taking pictures but none of you wonderful readers have a chance to see any of that. I hope as I continue to jet from hostel to hostel, the Wi-Fi situation will pick up.

In the meantime, I have a LOT to write about Nice, France. But since I will constantly be playing catch up, I thought I would give you my itinerary for the next couple of the days.

France

• Nice (until August 17)

Italy

• Genoa (17th-19th)
• Cinque Terra (19-22nd)
• Torino (22nd-26th)
• Venice (26th-TBD)

There are moments when I feel like I’ll never get the traveling thing under control. Where is my passport? Where is the bus station? What does that sign say? Why are there no hostels? Does that person want to be my friend?  And the other moments are pure joy or “pinch me, I’m dreaming” sort of feelings. Everyone is traveling for a different reason but we all laugh in the same language and it’s easy to find common ground with others who want to see what the world  has to offer. I’m seeing incredible things every single day and can barely keep track of the days in my head. It’s a whirlwind and an incredible exploration of self.

Just arrived in Genoa (Genova) and can’t wait for the Italian portion of my trip to begin!
