the beast is slain

Finally, this morning, I caught that mosquito chillaxin in the bathroom doorway, and punched his ticket. No more wake-ups at 3am from the high pitched whine.

Oh man was I sweating today. I was sweating in the shade, while a breeze was rolling through. HA! I finally had to accept that my bald head would be dripping sweat and my shirts would be soaked on this trip. no way around it, so I had to stop feeling uncomfortable.

Tomorrow morning we tour the Palazzo Vecchio. At 8am, that ride ought to be a bit cooler than this morning's ride.

I think I was able to hydrate completely today for the first time on this entire trip.

Classes are taught in the civil law tradition, where the prof simply sits in front and reads stuff to the class, all of whom dutifully try to get it down. No case discussions...rather one sided.

I have a plan for lightening my load so that I am not lugging my shoulder bag, nor my laptop, nor the huge binder of materials they gave me for enviro law, everywhere I go.

Speaking of lightening the load, the gellato I had this evening was primo...
