Last Day

December 12th, 2007

Today is my last day at work … it’s quite strange, ‘cleaning’ up my desk etc. So I’m leaving Aimaq Rapp Stolle and I’m going to ELEVENSEVEN, hell yeah!

The picture on the left is the Pantheon in Rome, Italy. It was the only clubhouse where I went inside in Rome … and I bet it’s the best one. Of course you can’t stay in Rome for 10 days, so after 2,5 days we left for Umbria, a very nice region in middle Italy. We had a very nice time in Spoleto … ‘dolce far niente’.

The English translation sounds odd right, why the past tense?
