1142. Sunshine and Holiday Cheer (Italy 119)
... abruptly against the forested hillsides. There are a few itinerant vendors wandering about—they seem to be very much a part of the fabric of society here in southern Italy. I see three of them side by side, each fitting right into the stereotype: An African fellow selling pirated DVDs…a Chinese woman selling miscellaneous gadgets… and a Roma woman… just begging.
I look at them and ...
1140. A Disaster in the Making (Italy 117)

... sun, we explored Sorrento town at night. There were so many tourist
shops, we later had dinner in a back street. We had a great
wood-fired pizza, later found the best and most famous Gelato shop in
town, (I forget the name) where we scoffed down 10 scoops for 10
euros. Favourites were peach, profiteroles, apple strudle and banana.
We also had toblerone, baci, smurfs, lemon, yoghurt and fruit, and
nutella.
