I just got to Croatia. We camped outside of Trieste for a few days. It was 7 Euro for two nights for two people. That’s a lot cheaper than hostels and hotels so I guess I might get home with $$ after all, or at least to Russian and hopefully to Japan. I don’t know where the Euro sign is on this keyboard, or any keyboard.
We got stopped at the Croatian border. They thought we had drugs but thank God I hate 420.
Tonight we’ll try to find another place to camp. My Croatian is a little rusty, I haven’t spoken it in the last 23ish years. I’m going to be 23 in seven days. Fuckyeah.
I am travelling now with my good friend Michael Capser. He would say hello if I turned to him now and said, hey, say hello, but he’s writing important emails so I’m going to just let it be.
I need to register for classes. FUCK. I think I can do that online but I think I need some passwords from my advisor. Dear advisor, I am in Croatia, please tell me what classes to take and then please register me in those classes. KTHANKS.
OhSHIT. I saw a guy in Trieste catch 5 cuddlefish in a row, right out of the harbor where the boats come in. Then MC and I went fishing for like 2 days and didn’t catch but a few large rocks. I don’t get it. I guess there’s a reason there’s a whole culture around the pescitarian adventure sport. Someone has some information on fishing that I need.
I can tie a knot called a Taughtline Hitch. It’s super good for tents. It didn’t rain last night but I was afraid it might. It’ll be light all night long when I get to St. Petersburg.
Okay I should go eat food but OHMYGOD read this below.

DO YOU READ MY BLOG (YES) AND LIVE IN (OR ENJOY VISITING) THE PORTLAND, OR AREA AND WANT TO HELP A BROTHER OUT? For serious–my buddy Randall has all of my things (bicycles and surfboards and clothes) and I’m not going to be home for a few months and he’s not going to be in Portland much longer. If you wanted to maybe store some of my things in your basement/living room, I could maybe bake you some chocolate chip cookies or compensate you in any other way you might deem necessary. You can contact him (Randall) at dongoor@reed.edu if you really want to help. OMG YOU’RE THE BEST.
