Ouch!

I was in Rome, Florence and Tuscany and never really noticed any animosity toward Americans except once in a sandwich shop.

There's a real popular hatred of the American government, but American tourists are more than welcome -- if you're harassed in Italy, Germany or even France, that's really remarkable.

Well, as the article says, it is our military presence they are protesting.... even though some carried signs, "Yankee Go Home!"

Italy is one of the few countries over there I would like to visit. Glad you enjoyed your trip.
