Sounds great. I've been looking at a short break somewhere before finding another sucker client so I'll have to add it to the "worth considering" list. Though we'll probably just end up back in Paris.

Language attacks are great fun. I think I know "Sorry, I'm a tourist but I'm going to try anyway" in about half a dozen languages.

Sorry to hear about the smell, though.  Do you get used to it?

Gods I hope not. Though I suspect you do quite quickly.

Maybe?  It's not overpoweringly offensive, so you can ignore it on the street, and when you go inside it's no longer noticeable, but I was only there for the day.

I intend to go back, but when it is considerably colder, and so cheaper, and deserted.  It probably wont smell as much then because of the lack of heat, too.

I'm sure I've heard from a friend who has been to Venice before that it can suffer from the same problems, on very hot days.  It doesn't always get insanely hot there, but when it does, it can be in the 40s (celsius), so it sounds plausible.

That aside, I think you'd enjoy it.  It's good food, stunning scenery and excellent wine.  Maybe a bit pricey, for the American exchange rate, but Tuscany and Veneto are very expensive places anyway, so when factored in it is not too bad.

Also, it is currently 114F, NO air movement at all, and the sky is DEAD BLACK with dust and cloud formations.

Things are going to get a little interesting around here, right at about the time I drive home.

We're all wearing respirators outside, and sand is filling up the doorways.

WITH NO WIND.  This is all suspended particulates.

That place is not fit for human habitation.

You know that, right?

I am not an engineer.  For one thing, I am sometimes wrong.  For another thing, other people are sometimes right.  Lastly, I cannot balance a coffee mug on my gut and walk around.

I wonder if the engineering students at my school know what they are going to turn into in 10-20 years.
