Italians are good at living.

One nice thing about Italy. One can eat out virtually every night. So many, many outdoor cafes and restaurants. The Italians know how to dine. To savor their food. Good food. And good wine. I used to think that German food was the best. Well, I've changed my mind. The Italians do it better. And the Italians live to eat. Rather than eat to live. In my 23 days in Italy, I don't think I had a bad meal. I ate heartily. But slowly. And I did lots of walking. Lots of exercising. So I gained only 3 pounds. And, oh, I had good company. Good conversation. Yes, the Italians are good at living. --Jim Broede
