		<description><![CDATA[ Your way is the write way. You don’t have to show your writing to ANYone.  You can, but you don’t have to.  Just writing for yourself is very important. You don’t have to READ what you write.  In fact, it is a good idea to let things “sit” for a while.  Like a stew—let your thoughts stew on paper.  Just keep writing. Give yourself some space.  Don’t read yesterday today.  Read yesterday next week. You have permission not to have to be Mozart. Its okay to love writing.  Or to hate it.  Doesn’t matter.  Just write. Once you start writing, don’t stop.  Professional writers know that it is so difficult to start writing, that it is best to just keep it going. Find your best time of day to write.  It may be morning, it may be just before bed, it may require cappuccino. Three pages is all you need to do.  Just three pages.  (Julia Cameraon) You have the right to show your reading to NO ONE. (I know it is also number 2, it’s just that it is important.  This helps you write without your critic yelling in your ear.) Its okay to keep one journal—or five.  If [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That is what co-owner Miranda Innes calls women who show up in at her Moroccan B&#38;B alone. Yet I would not recommend it for the feminine faint of heart.  A woman alone in a souk with her own pocketbook in tow throws Moroccan male concepts of where a woman should be into high disarray and makes the politically incorrect American male construction workers look like priests.  “Luscious Lips!”  “Hello Money!”  “Thank you;  no thank you; damn you!”  And the one epitaph which I took as a complement, though I do not fully understand it: “Berber woman!” Click to listen or download my audio. These sassy souk sayers are no more representative of all Moroccan men than were those tee-shirted hard-hatted lascivious whistling workers on American streets of their US counterparts.  Colorful, yes; memorable, certainly.  But not the voice of all Moroccan men, thank goodness.  And just like in America, if you are walking on their souk streets with a man, or with someone they know, you are far less likely to receive the comments. Hosts Miranda Innes and her husband Dan Pearce introduced me to Jamal, who has a shop in the souks.  When I met Jamal, he shook my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Citta della Pieve, Umbria. “Call me.  I can do anything for you.  AN-knee-theeng.” This strange man had just thrust his card in front of my face, so close that even with my reading glasses on, I had not a prayer of reading it.  He had followed me through the piazza on my way to buying sfuso wine, asking me if I worked here, and seemed delighted to hear my American Itanglish.  I was brushing him off as best I could, and thought I had shook him off when I settled in to a nice cappucino with my British friend Ingrid, at Stefanini’s Bar.   But here he was, literally in my face. I did not understand his Italian–the accent was more Sicilian than my ear was used to, so Ingrid translated for me.  Signore Stefanini appeared in the doorway of his cafe, overseeing this interaction.  He had his arms crossed over his chest, and was shaking his head decidedly and vigorously “no” indicating that this interloper and would-be “anything” man was… bad news.  Signore Stefanini’s ancestors I am certain were the original Roman models for the comedy and tragedy masks, so classic are his facial lines.  And a nonverbal “no” from him [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Check out www.onebag.com .  This website has a good packing list, as does Rick Steves’ website, www.RickSteves.com .  For more than a month, you may not be able to get everything in one bag, but it is a helpful place to start!  And you will not lose your bag. Things that are either difficult or impossible to find here in Italy, that you might miss from home: Medicines and perscriptions (Ritalin is not sold in Italy, for example) Zip Lock bags (yes really!) Sun screen in Winter is harder to find Index cards Tooth whitener Bring copies of your prescriptions along with you–if you need a refill you can take them to a farmacia and they will fill your prescriptions either immediately or within a couple of days–often more inexpensively than stateside prices. Also bring any medical records along with you.  Italians are expected to carry their medical records from doctor to doctor.  If you have a copy of your last dental x-ray, bring it along just in case– or ask your dentist to make you a copy (usually for aroung $5).  It is a good insurance to have. And speaking of, especially if you are going for a longer [...]]]></description>
