Wednesday was city day for the participants. YEurope set up 4 different stations across the city that everyone explored. Heather and I slept in, and then roamed the city. We went to a café she read about in a residential neighborhood. We couldn't figure out how to get there at first, but found it after about an hour. On the way was the most glorious and magnificent catholic church. It was obviously the central communal spot for the neighborhood. It was massive a...

Tuesday morning I got pooped on by a bird while waiting for the tram. We were all hyped up ready to go to the festival for the first day of our workshop. The sun was shining. We were early. And a bird pooped, splatted on my shoulder. Heather and I had water and tissues, so we did what we could to make me presentable.

The city is indescribably romantic and magical. It consumes you. I woke up to the sound of horses click-clacking past my window. Yes, that really happened. We started off heading to the market to get groceries for the apartment. The closest spot was a little corner store chain. While we were in line, O...
