    Italy is one of the countries that I want to visit, mostly because I want to eat the food. This post needs more pictures of food. :)

      I won't encourage you to break your diet. So get your hopes down, young lady.

      Maybe I should post pics of people running 5Ks. :)

      Can't you write an article about it and count it as a tax write-off?

    Italy in on my travel wish list... pretty high up there, I might add.

    I'm so lucky to say I have been to Venice which is beautiful and can't wait to go back. My aunt lives in Brixen/Bressonone in Northern Italy in the Dolomites. It's just beautiful

      Did you go shopping and ask the store keeper if he was the Merchant of Venice?
