I open with a title that is far more. On the london tube (their equivalent of the subway or t), there is a mass town overhaul to created artwork on the underground. plastered to a few of the walls is a huge poster, with spectacular artwork, that boasts this sentence: "if you don't like your life, you can change it".
Though this doesn't completely accurately represent my viewpoint (as i love my life!), it does summarize my feelings on this, my first, week abroad. I cannot eloquently and decisively put into words how i feel at the moment - i will need some time to match my spontaneity with linguistic integrity - but it has been absolutely amazing. to summarize it now would trivialize it. so i won't.
but i look forward to seeing all of you tomorrow. i miss home so much, which surprises even me, since i will be returning to swarms of reporters and drunk italians (VIVA!!!!). but i can't wait to see everybody and sleep in my room in my house with all my friends and family closer than these 3000 miles away.
and yes, i got you all cool stuff.
i will see you soon. be good. and dad, stay out of the PUBS.

Hi Toonie,
Can't wait to see you,the media is still going crazy here with no sign of relief.
Fiesta opened tonight, I was at the Gloucester House for the New Fish Festival-I haven't eaten that much fish since the Good Friday traditional dinner at your great grandmother Julia's house in the 60's. Friday night I will be walking in the procession with Saint Peter
(Tyler will be so jealous)and than on stage. I promise I won't be one of the drunk Italians.
Safe trip home.
Love always,
Dad
P.S.Have you been to any good Pubs lately?
My dear Sweetie Pie,
I miss you, too and can't wait to see your wonderful, beautiful face. I know right now, it will be beaming with a huge ear to ear smile! BTW, I like the title of your last entry of this journey's travel log. Sounds like good advice and a good philosophy for life. Yes, it is still crazy here and with Fiesta starting up, it can only go crazier from here. Hurry home and I can't wait to see you.
Love, Mommy
p.s. Made any new friends?
