How do you feel about Italy? [sip]
Italy would be fantastic.
Except that I heard to avoid Venice. My ex-boss went there and said he and his wife went on a romantic gondola ride and something terrible happened.
He leaned over to look into the water and saw a human turd float by.
~shudder~
Needless to say, that pretty much killed the "beautiful Venice" idea he had in his head for years.
