How to go to Italy

 






It used to be a lot more complicated to go to Italy.

You had to get time off of work, buy airplane tickets for 700 dollars, take a taxi or a tram or a car to the airport hours early. Then you had to fly overnight and go through customs and, voila, you're in Italy, which is pretty neat, but complicated.

Today it's a bit different.

We get up. I write this post. We have breakfast. We take a short walk to the train station where we get on the train with 20 euro round trip tickets. And then in an hour we're in Italy.

Easy peasy.

What's in Italy today? 

Ventimiglia, which the Internet claims is definitely worth visiting. 

On Fridays in Ventimiglia they have the largest market in Italy! You know how I love a good Louis Vuitton knock off.



I don't love a Louis Vuitton knock off?


Well, let's just say we'll look into that today.



Mainly we need an Italian coffee. Everything else is a footnote.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
