It’s a crazy place! LOL
Best part of Italy for me was busting down a dirt road with 2 other sailors and two seabags in a minicooper near the coast.
Rome was interesting but only spent 24 hrs there
Took th3e tour bus all around to see the most of it, had some ahole security guy stick a full auto submachine gun in my ear a Leonard Da Vinci air port.
Hoo boy!I was just having a cup of coffee.
If you were there in ‘86 or just afterward, it’s no wonder they were on-edge:

I was traveling on business thru Europe and missed the PLO’s massacre at the airport by just over 2 hours, on my way to Netherlands and Germany.
