A few questions for Italy:
How is it that Italians rate an A+ for Crazy Drivers and the USA lags way back with only an B+...I mean didn’t we invent road-rage?
Why are cars in Italy cuter than anywhere else...they actually look like they are smiling at you.
Why are there no cows in Italy...no kidding! We’ve been on the move since we got here and I’ve only seen 12 cows total...with this many miles behind us in the US, we would have seen at least 25,000... Where’s the Beef!
Why does nobody play golf in Italy...again, since I’ve been here I haven’t seen 1 golf course...none on the highways, none around the resorts, yes None. But we have seen lots of bikers...thats cyclist, mopeds and Italy’s version of crouch rockets. These guys are everywhere and sneak up on you in an instant...they also apparently do not have to follow any laws or rules.
Why are there no building codes in Italy...we stayed in a place, that had an average ceiling height of about 5’ 4”, a doorway that was about 4’6” and a staircase that went up 7 or 8 feet within 6 feet, we are talking straight up, if you used the oven you couldn’t wash the clothes because you’d trip the breaker, in fact we did trip the breaker a number of times and have zero idea why, the bathroom shower was intended for someone about 4’4” and you had to be a contortionist to bath, and the water had to run for 5 minutes before you could get hot water to use...our second place has to big things going for it, a shower that you can stand up in and a queen size bed that is wonderful. The only real problem here is we now have a stairway that goes up 8‘ within a 5‘ span, these are “billy goat” stairs.
Why do all the restaurants have exactly the same menu...variation in price, and maybe cooking procedures, but yes, they all have the same regional dishes. My friend Alessio told me the Italians were very provincial people...and I see it everyday. Sure the food is awesome but the same menu!! Come on! OK, OK . I know, I know....still the 2 best foods in the world are...1) Pesto (from Italy), and 2) Gelato (any kind).
Why are some Worker Strikes pre announced and very civilized, while others just kind of happen...the train workers are the worse (or best depending on your view).
How come Italians have more to talk about than anyone else in the world. These quiet little towns are full of people who have more to say than anyone you’ve ever meant. You see them sitting together, what seems like all day, and never a quiet moment. And I swear the hand waving has to be some kind of workout routine they’ve all learned.
And most important...Where have you Italians hidden all the Peanut Butter...I have looked in every single store I’ve been in??? Please if you know, tell me!
On a serious note...The beauty of Italy is worth every dollar, pound, euro or yen you spend to come here. It’s magnifico.
