My Year of the Life of Leisure

I left my job, left my apartment, sold most everything in that apartment and embarked on a year of travelling and leisure. I am working on writing a couple of books. This might be one of them... But then, my chief pursuit is leisure, so who knows exactly what will happen.

Yes, that was me last night on the back of a motorcycle in Milan

So, am now in Milan. Very lovely and it seems everyone is very well-dressed. I feel like I can only wear a couple things, since it's the end of my trip and most of the clothes I have with me (except for the nice ones) are a bit worn.

Though, I think I have an outfit for tonight. This is because I may have a date. In a story I will perhaps tell another time, I'd met a Milanese man by email the day before yesterday. He took me out for a drink last night, and I'm hoping to see him again tonight. Conversation consists of a mix of Spanish and English (his Spanish is much better than mine -- more verbs and vocabulary). He has very gorgeous eyes, and is well, gorgeous anyway...

I'm going to Germany tomorrow to visit some friends, and I suspect I will be returning to Milan on Tuesday or Wednesday... If I see him tonight, it depends on how that goes. If I don't see him tonight, I'm pretty sure I'll return because I want to see him and he's said he wants to see me, too. And judging by our 'goodbye' yesterday evening, I believe him.

In walking around news, went for an evening walk last night (after the drink date). Walked by La Scala, which I'm sure has a phenomenally gorgeous facade. The facade is currently covered in scaffolding for repairs or cleaning. Alas. Walked by a great many shoe and clothing shops, and my bank accounts are happy that the shops were closed....

I now have several blisters on the bottom of toes and the bottom of my left foot, from my new sandals. Note: need to use baby powder (which I have) on feet when walking around in shoes with a leather lining (don't know how I forgot this (ok, maybe I was a little dreamy because of kissing), but I did).

So, I'm wearing my more comfortable, and much worse-for-wear, loafers and I will shortly be going on another walk. It's sunny, there's humidity (which, strangely, I miss from Argentina) and I have time before this evening.

Though, if I meet up with him tonight, I will be wearing the sandals.
