oi pt 2

so my young lawyers insist on helping me get my luggage of the train and accopany me to the hertz ca rental only to discovered it has moved and would have been totally impracticle to try and get to without them helping me. an aspect of our exchange which would prove itself maybe 4 more times. once at the office the representative knows nothng about my g.p.s. reservation and insists he needs my email attachment printed which i cannot do. eventually we persuade him to transfer it to a second hard drive so he can print it and then i watch the lawyers be lawyers even if they do not win the case it is fun that they are doing it for free and on my behalf.

so they lose but we find out where i coud buy a tom tom and on y va. the clerk at the electronics store so cute. so easy for him to sell since i determined in advance i am buying this gadget.

backk to the car to say good-bye etc. but wait the gps doesn't seem to work! so they come back with me to the store which is open until 7:30. i did tell them many times to leave and not worry though secretly i was grateful to them for staying. marco returns with me while mika(?) waits in the car and we get roberto to go over running the gps system again for me, the child. he makes it all work and i am reassured. we say ciao and i drive to the suburbs to get enrico's HORRIBLE FUCKING guitar

but wait! i then return to milan tolocate anna the woman via couchsurfers who will crash me. the address she gives me is to a swank apartment where they are having a party...for me! so sad to reveal i am a stinking vegan and ruin their canneloni but damn fine beautiful gregarious lot. jacob, the three dudes from napoli "can you tune a guitar? please tune it. will it stay that way now? i bought my girlfriend a stratocaster!" and the impish one who's thesis was about the lighting in 8 and a half and said passolini was a genuius.

and then this woman anna with whom i had a great conversation with back at her place where her two roommates are not as fond of having strangers sleep over as she is. but
damn interesting day and night. her music collection eclectic and interesting and similar insights about religion and government and life. her the only child and not leaving because of that to move around the world. left her with copies of the 10th victim and dersu which she told me were stories by sci fi guy and tergenev. damn
