Posting has been rather difficult...

I forgot that you had to make a blog in order to post a comment, sorry about that. I'm not doing much sightseeing so far because I'm still getting used to the 9 hour loss and I've been sleeping way over 12 hours a day and getting up at the strangest hours. The situation right with the phone seems to be that T-Mobile needs to activate international calling or something and that the only way to call, without paying hundreds of dollars, to the US is to get good deal on a phone card. When I start going to the lab in Florence with my mom I'll have a fast connection and might even be able to talk to people on AIM (if they happen to be awake at some insane hour). I'll start posting pictures then, and when I get the charger for my camera in the mail (I forgot it at home) I'll post most of the pictures to my Flickr acount which is at

OR
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mtlalchemist/

which is a photo blog thing. I'll get it all sorted out so there is one central site for the photos.
I'll post again later.

Ciao
