Italy

Back from two weeks in Italy... always enjoy the old European cities.  Lots of tourists and it was hot.  The foreign currency exchange rate is extremely unfavorable to the dollar (Thanks, Mr Obama) so be prepared if you are headed to Europe anytime soon.  One observation some of the locals made was that very few Americans are traveling; the majority are East Europeans, Russians, and Chinese.  ummmm.
