Well. I did it. Today I broke down and got McDonalds for dinner. I mean, when you see the golden arches staring you in the face every day, it's hard to stay strong. I figured the arch derived from Roman architecture, therefore it's only logical to assume the golden arches are a distant relative of the classic architectural feat, making it "A - OK" to devour hot Fries. Nugs. Coca cola classic over ice. Mmmmmm! There is no ice here, and I'm not ok with that. That was the first coke with ice in over a week.. and it was glorious. Zach and I were a little bit too excited to dine in there after working at studio all day. We've been making a map that is freakin' awesome. We're using watercolors, acetone transfers, ink, pencils .. It's like a treasure map! (everyone knows I LOVE treasure maps- i.e. "the goonies" and "national treasure") Please try to contain your excitement while reading this.

Some crazy things seen this weekend:
-Large, unkempt, homeless man with no pants on sitting on the sidewalk with a jar set out for monitary donations. Hmmmm, not real sure what he was trying to promote for $$ - the fact that he, indeed, had no pants on orrrrr ... yeh thats just nasty.
-Another freaky homeless "one man band" guy. Complete with accordian, honky horns, clacking things, a bizarre bird nose (?), little bells, and a string puppet. BIZARRE.
-British/Welsch men that rudely hit on us at the pub. Claimed he was from California yet had a strong accent. hmmm? His name was Stuart. He touched my face, and it was awkward.

Hopefully going to the crazy bargain markets tomorrow.
Mommy, will search for your pagmina.
Rob, will keep an eye out for anything relating to Sparta. ?
Patrick, will send you home a small cat.
Keeks, jewelry is everywhere here. Enough said.

Ok, I'm out. Time to sleep on my really comfy foam bed. I miss my bed and my assortment of pillows.
Ciao.
