Viajes

 It’s good to visit Italy while you can still eat frommagio, sip cappuccinos in the morning, and lick gelatos in the afternoon,

It’s good to go when you can still drag a suitcase up stairwells stretching to the heavens,

It’s good to go to Italy even if you only know how to say buon giorno, smiling won’t get you much ricciacelli but you will be served nonetheless,

It’s good to go to Italy when you can still operate a smartphone, navigating bus, train and metro terminals without too many missed stops,

It’s good to go to Italy with a patient partner who lets you stop at a moment’s notice and take plenty of pictures of underwear hanging from the windowsills,

It’s good to go to Italy in a beaten pair of running shoes, you will stick out like a sore thumb amidst all of the high heel boots but you will tip toe up and down the travertine corridors with lightness in your step. It’s good to go to Italy while you can still eat pizza and mozzarella focaccia sandwiches and drink a Negroni or two, well into the night.
