What Do I Need From Italy?
« on: February 19, 2004, 05:52:17 PM »
My mom is headed to Italy on Monday and asked what she should bring back for me.  So, since I'm too clueless to think of anything, what do I need that's unique to Italy?

PS...No, Naso, I won't let you meet her!

Tuaca Liquer. You can find it in the states, but it may be cheaper over there.

Around Rome, I think.  I like all kinds of stuff.  All I know for sure is that she's going to some church cathedral thingies - she's catholic.  I think they're also headed to some festival there or something.  And stuff.

Since Saur mentioned it, I am all outta popes!

Too bad I didnt own it. Borrowed it from a nice friend. You know everything on this bike costs twice as much as on a japanese bike so I had to be extra carefull all the time.

I borrowed a Moto-Guzzi from my friend; Gotta admit there's something nice in those Italian motorbikes...

Well not in their electrics; frigging starter gave me gray hairs.

Tell her to take a washcloth if she likes one to shower with, the hotels I stayed at in Italy didnt provide them.  (this include the Hilton)

The best things I brought back were pictures and memories.  Its a beautiful country with tremendous history.

That Duc was a near perfect bike except for the kick stand. You have to hold it down with your foot or it will raise back up and the bike will drop. Near perfect except for that but then thats Italian design for you, they do that on purpose.
