Ciao, Italia! April 24, 2007

Posted by Niels in : Personal , trackback


I’ve been in Florence for a day already and I still don’t know whether Italians drive on the right or the left side of the street. Apparently the rules are flexible.

I checked into my room, turned on my computer. “No wireless networks in range.” I’m in the third world! So now I’m sitting in the Piazza Dell’Unita Italiana, paying for access to a wireless access point that’s so weak that I’m practically sitting in the street. I’m literally sitting on the ground next to a roadblock as people walk by, stare at what I’m writing, and mutter things in Italian. So if it takes me a little while to respond to email, bear with me.

On the bright side, the gelato here is fantastic.

The best coffee ever is located directly down the street from St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Go down the Via Conciliazione away from St. Peter’s and look on the left for a coffee shop with two entrances, one down the street from the other. That’s where the Pope used to get his coffee.

Looking forward to seeing you out here man. Have fun.
