It’s the weirdest thing - there are all these people here who look just like folks you’d see in any big American city but they’re all speaking Italian. Fortunately for us many do speak reasonable English and for emergencies, I have Google translator on my phone now.

Anyway, we’ll be here most of the month, see Rome, Florence, Venice and Cinque Terra, five little towns tucked up in the cliffs along the coast where I hope to have a peaceful recovery from all the big city museums, etc. and maybe meet some of the fishermen who work the ocean in old wooden boats.

Great on the pie crust. Thank you

I highly recommend Pisa, (The tower is cool, but the cathedral right next to it is breathtaking) and Naples if you have the chance. And Mt Vesuvius is a MUST see.
