Italy
Briefly, as I rarely have any time to write these days (or even read about global market meltdowns), a summary of my trip to Italy:
My favorite city was Florence, followed closely by Venice. Yes, I realize that Venice is sinking and a bit decrepit, but I found it exquisitely charming. Florence I loved for its galleries and museums, David was magnificent close up, nearly brought me to tears. Worst city by far was Pisa. Not only was the leaning tower entirely underwhelming, but it was surrounded by hundreds of idiot tourists pretending to hold it up, or flick it, or lean against it in photographs.
I also enjoyed hiking cinque terre, except that I forgot my bathing suit and had to buy a blingy Italian string bikini from a local swim shop. Brown crochet material with orange sequins all over, just hideous. All photos of it have been destroyed.
