Looking for Audrey Hepburn
Buonasera!
We finally made it to the start of the Amalfi Coast. Three interesting situations presented themselves to us today. 1) A few miles after leaving the morning's hotel, we were flagged over by the Italian Federal Police. We dutifully pulled over. An officer approached me demanding something. As he was speaking Italian, I had no clue as to what he was asking. I gave him the deer in the headlights look and asked if ...
