as wonderful as rimini has been, I have to leave it eventually. tomorrow morning i'll hop on the train to venice, where i'll spend saturday and sunday. i think i'll tour the island where they make glass saturday; sunday i'll be with elizabeth kays and her relatives. after than I head to milan, and then fly to dublin.
sorry for the total lack of proper english here, but italian keyboards are different from ours outside of the qwerty key setup, and i haven't gotten used to them yet.
rimini has been great. so relaxing. spent all my time doing nothing, either walking the beach, sitting reading or walking to the mall to see how they do things there. the italian equivalent of walmart was fun to see - their employees get about on rollerskates. also interesting was the store layout, which is designed like a maze to trap people in and make them walk past everything in order to get out. people in america don't stand for that, except in casinos.
as for how the city looks, think the italian version of Florida. foreignors haven't discovered the city yet, and it's wonderfully nice, beautiful, clean, modern, etc... mostly everything rome and naples weren't. while i loved rome, it was dirty, crowded, busy, and stressful. i could definitely come back here anytime, preferably with a group of people to enjoy it with. amazing vacation spot.
rimini has also been cheap, although the heat has caused a drastic increase in gelato consumption which cuts into saves. also spent way more than i planned on for my night in venice tomorrow, as every single room in the city under 80 euros is taken. so much for spending two nights there... cities in italy are too close together to sleep through the night and its cities are far too dangerous to sleep anywhere else, so i got a decent room at a nice hotel. i won't mind a real shower bed...
will probably update again in dublin, when i'll have some more pictures and videos up, i hope
