Day two and NY won all of their bouts. The poetry is thick and I am enjoying myself. Right now I am sitting in a sidewalk restaurant drinking a local brew which is actually very enjoyable. I feel slightly dizzy because of lack of water. Maybe that is what I will order next. Oh and I can't forget my daily fix of espresso. The day can't go on without that.

More poetry is in the agenda for the rest of the week, and at some point I must take a swim in the hotel pool. The locals are pretty pleasent and I am about to eat a steak sandwich. Hope it's good. I have a theory that I will be but I can't speak until I taste.

I am sure there is more to come, so until then.
