I am in Nice. After spending 5 days in Firenze, two days in Levanto (Cinque Terre), one night in Monaco and one night in Nice, I have connected my laptop to the Internet.
I am sort of headed towards Portugal, thinking about stopping at Cap D'Agde (the nude city), and crossing Spain through either Barcelona / Madrid or the northern path through the Basque country and Galicia. The idea, of course, is that I will go to Barcelona anyway.
I am kinda frustrated by the shallowness of all connections I make. This whole trip, there was one person who I saw for more than 4 days. I am also bothered by the touristyness of places like Firenze. It's the same dumb shit: people arrive, take pictures and leave. I simply cannot see the value there.
Ok, now I need to figure out if I am staying here of heading west. I guess I have the whole day. I'm reading Pinker's How The Mind Works, and I'm loving it.
