Michealangelo:
Pinocchio was everywhere. Rick finally asked, in some basic Italian, why. Well, it turns out the author of "Pinocchio" lived in Florence.
Speaking of books and Florence, we both read the true story "The Monster of Florence" by American author Douglas Preston. It was very very interesting. The book ended up being more about the legal system in Italy, and, relates directly to the Amand Knox case. Read it all the way through if you can.
With the very narrow roads, some trucks are as small as motorcycles!
