Very Quick Update
I am Italy now! The buildings and the women here are very beautiful. I almost got pickpocketed, but I gave the sucker a hard elbow to the chest and he went running. I am learning conflict resolution here. It is really much harder than it seems on the surface. Pictures soon! Ciao

When I was in Italy , I learned that if you use your fist when you hit someone , it's a crime. They consider it a deadly weapon. You have to slap them or use the palm of your hand.
Be careful
