It sounds more posh than it is that I have plans to go to a dinner party in Rome Friday. This city is ultra-architectured, massively and detailedly, crowded with astounding cathedrals, temples, museums, statuary on every other building along each street...somehow Athens had a less heavy beauty.

A theater (I want to say, a "real" theater) in Athens near the Acropolis:
Example

Temple of Athena Nike:

Temple of Athena next to the Parthenon:

It doesn't take so long to post. There is plenty of time, no set schedule...

Very gorgeous today.
gay and flip in New York commented at 5/01/2005~: dear lux,

harlem, as in harlem, nu yawk? or netherlands harlem? i need to see that bug myself.

ah, roma. la dolce vita is indeed expensive. are you going north? milano, perhaps? try the lake region. and wonderful creamy cuisine as opposed to the overhyped tomato based southern one.

always good to hear from you.
kt commented at 5/05/2005~: ...where are you now? at the moment i could only move around imaginatively through 62 Cities: A Model Kit by julio cortazar...
lux commented at 5/06/2005~: where do we go from here? so, i am in paris. my long time friend is here; he and his wife just had a baby two weeks ago.

i'll go to the catacombs today. and i really want to see a film!

oh, expensive europe. next i will visit another friend in amsterdam.

"crazy that you are, why do you promise yourself to live a long time, you who cannot count on a single day..."
