Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.

Thanks so much for asking!
Yeah, it is really awesome living here. I'm just astounded by it every once in a while... I've been here long enough for it to feel like "home". But, the place is far too wonderful to take for granted.
If ya'll (any of the ladies here) ever want to take a vacation to Italy, let me know - I'd be glad to put you up for a couple of nights, (if we're in town...)

Yes---there is a villa wedding scene that really stood out.
Anyways - there are lots of places in Europe that are friendly, many folks speak english, and are definitely worth visiting, Italy among them. I do recommend you try to learn at least the basic polite words of a language, Please, Thank you, Excuse me, and numbers, before you go anywhere. You'll get much better help and attitude from folks - except in, say, Sweden where pretty much everyone speaks english anyway.
One of these days, I'll post a "review" of european places I've been....

Alex bought me (for my birthday) a pair of lace-up black Mephisto maryjanes for walking around in slacks or casual skirts. And I've got a pair of rockport black suede buckle shoes (almost ballet style) that are quite comfy. I wear my nikes when I'm working out or biking. The rest of the time, I wear the maryjanes or rockports. Except when I'm dressed up, of course.
I haven't seen a lot of Americans around here, period. Bologna isn't one of The Hot Tourist Spots, so folks tend to miss it. It's a lovely city, with wonderful people, but more of a "living" city than a "showcase" city.
