Sounds like it was fantastic! Thanks for sharing the experience here :)
That photo is out of this world, especially with the last twilight at the end of the hangar. Cool!!
That's GREAT
Italy's so gorgeous.
Don't get me started on the food; Italians are the world boss of all things food.
There was this trattoria in Rome, it was pouring down rain, we were tired, and appealed to the mercy of the mama of the family who ran the place.
Oh my gosh, the food just kept coming
No idea how much it all cost, but I hugged that lovely plump lady when we left.
I could weep just thinking of that meal
OK I got distracted, but am really happy for Italy
It's too beautiful to get ruined
Pro tip I have never seen in any travel book or show: visit the little town of Merano, in northeast Italy. OMG. You'll never want to leave. It's like Shangri-La. Ever seen palm trees at the foot of snow-covered mountains?
Have you read the article about Mussolini yet? Would be interested in a review or some pics if you'd like, especially in light of that March 1937 date.

An African suburb of Europe, Tunisia, lying between the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea, is a country of ancient whitewashed cities as well as fertile vineyards and olive groves.
Crater Lake and Yosemite Through the Ages
The pristine blue water of Oregon's Crater Lake fills a depression left when an ancient volcano erupted and lost its top half. California's striking Yosemite Valley was carved ten million years ago by glaciers and streams.
Spouseanon is camera hoarder (lol)
That videotape cassette is from one of the early consumer-grade digital video cameras that were sold in the early/mid 1990s.
The SD card isn't that old, fairly common
Spouse not familiar with use of that memory stick, has seen before but not used. Maybe proprietary to Sony products.
Very cool.
The wolf in that one photo is the mascot of Rome, the twins Romulus and Remus nursing from a female wolf. There's an entire story around it, but can't think of it at the moment.
Oldfag here has seen wild things happen before, never rule anything out
People had to change from radio to TV
Black & white TV to color
3 channels to hundreds
I remember when Ted Turner started Chicken Noodle Network, everybody laughed at it
Newspapers & magazines used to be YUUUUUGE
Now they're measly little nothings
Radio used to be YUUUUGE
Now music is delivered digitally
Sports will zip its pants up when the money stops rolling in
Dunno if Hollywood is fixable. It may just have to die completely and be gone for a while before rising from the ashes into something else altogether.
