Italy
#1
I'm working 2 weeks at OGS Italy, on Ross Sea. A few days ago I decided I should not skip dinner again, so I walked to the local restaurant. It was closed. So, I walked back to the hotel, which is sort of a non-hotel, to read my book and go to bed. I left my book in India or on a plane.

Finally walked to Trieste (2 hours) to meet people I am working with for dinner. The Costa Mediterranea was in port (and left 1/2 hour later). I joked that it looked like a wild party on the bridge and the captain was going to show off and run aground somewhere down the coast. it is a huge ship.

My hotel has no AC or internet, and I am the only one staying there, and there is no one in the building (you get the key 4 minute walk away). It had been hot, but thunderstorm late Saturday night. I got up Sunday morning, started to walk to breakfast, and a lightning bolt struck between 200 and 400 meters away: it was not raining and I had not heard thunder before. This unnerved me so I want back to cover by the hotel for a couple of minutes. It still was not raining so I walked about 100 m and another bolt hot between 100 and 200 m in front of me. I ended up running to breakfast. Then it started raining.
