Last Day in Tuscany
... she said the vapors burnt her eyes and made her breathe fire. Hey, at least she tried it! I wouldn't get close to the stuff, the smell made me cringe. After the first sip the rest had to go down the spittoon. Finally the barber was open, but there were a couple of people ahead of me. These were the slowest barbers off all time.

They live in a tiny town in the country, and I just got done talking with them on Skype. I can't contain my excitement.
