Italy Notes

September 5, 2009

September 5, 2009. Drew sent Max Withdrawal a photo of handwritten Italy notes. The page would not read. One line did.

Hasselhof charges Finney.

That line. The rest stayed on the paper. No cities under it. No tickets.

October 19, 2011, Drew wrote what the photo never held. A train from the Florence station back to Milan with Max. Giant bowls of fried rice. Max singing "Bah dap ba..." while Drew tried to sleep. Drew almost smacked him.

The line is 2009. The train is 2011 — remembered, not booked.
