I'm sitting in a small café in downtown Oldenburg, named 'Cupido'. Sylvia and I came here for lunch two weeks ago when I was on the hunt for a proper winter coat. Which I found, by the way..in a thrift store for only 29 Euro. It's a soft, sage green leather …
As of yesterday, I have been on this mad adventure for four months. And wow, what a ride it has been so far. You name an emotion, and I've felt it. From astonishment, adoration and agony to zany, zealous and zen. Most of the time my psyche has been rockin' …
It's cold here in Germany. Down to the high 30's(F)...which for this Florida girl might as well be -20. Time to start wearing a hat. Amber lent me one before I left York, along with four sweaters. And thank god she did, otherwise I would be dead by now. I have …

When taking the bus in London, if it is cold, sit in bottom in the back row. The seats are right over the engine, and act as bum warmers!
When needing cheap food in London, look for the shops with stalls outside selling fruit and veg in bowls for only 1pound. I've been living off of them for weeks, mostly tomatoes, tangerines and potatoes.
