Got in late Monday night from Rome and still jet lagged out something awful. BTW if Italy calls, tell them I was here all along OK? We had a BALL, I'm pretty sure those folks are looking at dire shortages in the food department this year and fer dang sure a shortage in wine.
The place is kewl, but in general our Italian food is better than theirs- especially the pizza. The beer supply sucks- can't buy a Bud for love or money, poor baskirds never even heard of a long neck. The music ain't that bad but NO ONE ever heard of Toby or Faith. They do have good wine though and that makes up for it some.
Rome is beautiful but the traffic is annoying. Biggest car there is a Ford Fiesta. I would need 2 or 3 of most of what they drive to get around. The folks on the scooters are peckerheads each and every one of them. Found out that the secret to crossing the streets is to just walk out there like you own the place. If you look, they take that as a sign of weakness and try to run you down. If they honk, they see you.
We went for a gondola ride in Venice- turns out that you are NOT supposed to moon the other boats should your gondola guy happen to pass them- hoo knew???
I did manage to fix that tower in Pisa for them. Actually it was pretty much an accident. It was raining that day and while I was whipping out a cigarette, I dropped the bottle of little blue pills. Within seconds- bada bing that dude was sitting up straight as you would ever imagine. I'm thinking that I should send them a bill, but they didn't seem all that happy about the deal????
So did you guys manage to keep /paul under control? What did I miss??
Still have gas regards

. Them Italians didn't seem too happy about me fixing their tower either though.
