Lucca to Genoa

The agent passed by and punched my card. Everything is fine. What a relief. All that worrying for nothing.

'Merica
... soccer, I researched how this game was going to go and it didn't look like the favor was in our hands because USA hadn't beat Italy in about 82 years. Our attitudes stayed high and we had were super excited. We grabbed some beers and headed to the train station, for the great, but extremely long night we had ahead of us. We noticed when buying our tickets that the train home was all sold out, but being excited we decided to buy the one way stopping in Pisa first and than heading ...
