I talked to Naomi today. Now I understand she just wants to have a good time with a good friend in Italy. She doesn't want me as anything more than that, and although she wants to go where the locals go, she isn't going to go off with some Italian guy and leave me alone. She said we'll get one room with two beds. At least I know what she wants. If I go to Italy with her as a friend and without any expectations to become anything beyond that I can enjoy myself and not be disappointed.

Tonight I'm leaving for the airport and tomorrow I'll reach the States. I probably won't write blog entries from there, since I doubt I'll have enough privacy near a computer. So I assume my next entry will be in August.
