These boots were made for walkin

So I met this really cool guy the other day named Rudy. He is finishing up law school in Memphis and is taking the bar exam in a few weeks. He told me this crazy story thats been happening to him lately. He had a job with this good law firm in Memphis but they ended merging with this big time firm and now he is out of a job. Then he almost got a few other jobs and those fell through. The latest one fell through in a really shady way. They gave him the job, and he found out through one of his clients that he no longer had a job, crazy huh? He was so mad he didnt hear from his boss first that he stormed down there to yell and all that but the security wouldnt let himm in, so he just left, went home and fell asleep on the couch after crying and all that stuff. He woke up to the policemen knocking on his door because they say he is the leading suspect for burning down a building, the building of the firm that he just lost his job from. you can guess why they think its him, but of course its not. now he is on the move in Europe...

ok, so maybe he isnt really on the move in, Europe...
ok, and so may be Rudy isnt really real either...

I started reading about Rudy Baylor in the John Grisham book called the Rainmaker the other day. It was left by another traveler and I read the first 17 chapters. The rule with that though is, if you get a book another traveler left, you have to leave one. the only problem is the only other book i have is my little Gideon bible. I was thinking...ya know, a novel would be something nice to have on a 30 plus train and ferry trip that i am gonna take tomorrow morning, but i didnt wanna be without my bible for two weeks. i figured walking in the spirit is a little more important, i am so holy arent i? right up there with the pope. I guess the vatican area is rubbing off on me.

Oh well, hopefully the next hostel will have another cool book. i havent ever reallly read a novel on my own, sad huh, but i really liked it, at least this one.

anyway, next time i write i will be in greece on the last leg of our trip.

peace out my mis holy santos

Ok, well, I am at this little internet cafe right down the street from the Sistine chapel right?

Not that that has much to do with anything, other than the connection is slow, and when I just went to publish my blog entry I just wrote everyone, the internet timed out and the entire entry is gone.

I thought about not writing anything and just waiting for next time I got on here to write, but since I am in Italy, and Musilini did it for the people, I will do it for the people. That made no sense, but neither does a lot of stuff they do here...Oh, except for their genius invetions, which I dont htink I have mentioned on here yet.

The toilets in the hostel we are staying at right now has weight on the back of the seat, so when you stand up, it raises up. No putting up and down the seat, it does it for you. There would be one less dilemma in America if we adpoted that thing.

Another thing is the pedal to turn water faucets on and off and to flush the toilet. I dont know why Americans dont have these installed in their housess, I know I will.

But anyway...Peters Basiillica the other day was probabaly the most impressive thing on this entire trip. Today we saw the Pope at a Snack Bar getting Gellati. Got his autogra...ok, we really just saw him blessing the crowd. Even though I dont believe in his position and all, it was still quite an experience.

Ok, Sistine chapel, the forum, and collesum are still to come.

Thanks for reading and yalls comments, I appreciate em.
