8:50 AM I am awake since 5:20 after 5 hours here at Travelodge by Wyndham in Florence. Ever since i've been counting steps stomps on the ceiling and guys comming down the stairs and there have been at least 4 in a one king size bed room. I have fallen back asleep and awakened, like then knew the moment, about 10 times. One of the guys left with a semi with the logo Westco, with a Volvo trailer head. Next to our back window there is a bus size AV.

Same happened yesterday when i got here half past dead tired, after sleeping in the car at 7 feathers after a similar night there so i could drive the 120 miles here. But i am not sure if there's anyone left upstairs, i still hear stomps. Dogs barking viciously.

They gave us one card key only and when we left for the Casino, after several hours of "resting" Angela found another one under the door mat, with one corner barely visible, but it was expired.

Hotel is near 101 with lots of traffic. I made some noodles soup that caught the smell/taste from inside our apartment that is now apparent after 2 days on the road. A combination of mold form the always wet floor (from vapors in the basement) and dog s...t.

9:05 Almost positive he is Austrian, by the looks.

9:12 BTW i have been thinking me too, some of the Scythians were red headed.

9:33 I believe some of the so called celtic symbols look similar to avar. Need to do some more research. when i get home. And  yes, got nauseated (obviously) after i ate that soup.
