Kyle and I found a lovely fetish shop tucked away in a cozy corner of Rome. I wish I spent some of my money on the gorgeous things they sold, but it’s hard for me to justify spending such a large amount. Why are all the nice things so expensive!

Kyle and I are supposed to visit the haunted graveyard/church tonight. Sounds lovely and all but I’m also terrified

I uploaded a short update video from here in Germany. I would have posted an actual link, but Tumblr is being difficult.

Ich bin drunken!!!! Went to the local bar tonight and met 2 groups from America. Such a small world. Also met a hilarious drunk German man who knows Ky and his family very well. Such a good night. I never want to leave this place.

Anyway. I drank way too much Vermouth. Sleepytime

I’ve been very busy which is why I haven’t been posting at all. I’ve been keeping a journal while I’m here which is nice. I don’t want to write too much, since I am only on Ky’s phone, so I will describe this place briefly. I’m staying in a little town called Oberau, which is nestled in the mountains of Bavaria. This part of Germany is very traditional, and not as modern as other areas. The culture thrives on a huge appreciation and respect for tradition, morals and religious belief. The quality of life is much better than that of life in urban North America. Everything is detailed and beautiful. The birds are always chirping. The nature is incredibly lush. The mountains are staggering as they surround the town and reach into the clouds. The people here are very kind and respectful. These kind of people are rare back at home. When we go to the small bar down the street, everyone drinks with one another, unafraid of sitting, dining and socializing among strangers from separate parties. The culture in Bavaria is one which allows everyone to be very close and comfortable with one another. The churches, monastaries and graveyards are truly intricate and meaningful. The architecture of these places is incredible, and the history is rich and intriguing. History in this part of the world is much more significant than in North America, in my opinion. We were driving on a road today, which was built 100 years ago, and I found it amazing to here our German friend say that this road was not old, for there are many roads and other things around which date back 2000 years ago. I can’t fathom or explain the significance and incomprehensible nature of the history of this area. I could write so much more. I’m so inspired by this place. As I was sitting on the porch yesterday, looking at the mountains, I thought that I would stay here if I could. And I realized that it was the truth. That thought speaks for my love of this place, and I know that I will be very sad to leave a place which is so very cultural, historical and valuable.
