Save me a cookie...also, today, got out to get my decharazione to allow me to drive when I pick up my rental car tomorrow. Also, I realize I made a mistake, so I went to talk to the man in the pointy hat...he wasn't pleased. Given my lack of fluency in either German or Italian, I decided to try and communicate via interpretive dance. It would seem I'm now banned from the Vatican, and excommunicated...odd, given I wasn't Catholic. I shall have more to report tomorrow. Also,the meats and cheeses here are to die for, particularly the fresh mozzarella, parmigiana and prosciutto.

Gary you can get banned from anywhere! Isn't the food to die for. I've yet to find a comparable caprese salad since Italy and I used to love those. Isn't the architecture, sculpture, art and history fascinating. I guess we won't talk about the fabulous shopping though. Hope you are having a wonderful time!

Dig the new elephant! Well, today I picked up my rental car (Fiat 500), which is a nice little car (emphasis on 'little'). Driving in Rome is not unlike a video game, minus the health/weapons drops and save game feature. The Autostrada, well, you just go as fast as you can. When you rent a car and the rental clerk puts an address into the GPS for you, make sure it's the right town, or you may end up in the middle of absolute nowhere. The middle of nowhere in a country where you don't speak the language isn't where you want to be (did I just hear dueling mandolins?). I made it to Vergiate, and I'm going to visit the Del Sole shop tomorrow morning, and pick up at least one fancy Italian vaping device for my birthday. Now, a little more Italian TV and then sleep.
