Off to Florence
Leaving for Florence today for my nephew's wedding. Will be there for a week before travelling elsewhere in Italy to visit relatives and eat a lot.

Re: Off to Florence
Beautiful city - wonderful area.... have a great time and safe travels.
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Buon viaggio!

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Ditto!
Have a blast, eat a lot, you'll have the whole Canadian winter - which starts next month, right? - to work it off.

That reminds me of a story, possibly one of those shorties from an old (non) Reader's Digest.Econoline wrote:...and remember my favorite, most useful, go-to phrase (which I still recall from the one time and only time I was in Italy): «C'è qualcuno qui che parla inglese»?
A lady who had been to several European countries on a whirlwind tour made it a habit to go into a store, bazaar, mercado, or whatever, and say "Does anyone here speak English" in a loud voice. She went into large department store and did her usual routine. She was met with cold stares. Finally someone volunteered "Madam, this is Harrods".
For those (few) who may be unfamiliar: https://www.harrods.com/en-gb/visiting- ... g-thestore
Oh, have a great time in Florence. http://www.florenceks.com/

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
