Ain nothing better than salume e fromaggio
Forget sneakers . The only way to do Italy in the summer is with flip flops else you will end up with blisters. Downside: dirty feet
When crossing the street, hope their brakes work!

Italy tour

Packing, and cleaning...wondering where my Italian phrase book is...do I need it?

I leave for Italy in two days! Going on tour for a couple weeks and hope I'll get a chance to do some sightseeing in Rome (my favorite city aside from sweet old New Orleans). I finally figured out how to post tour dates on my website, so they are up, plus also on myspace.com/laolga I will be tweeting while overseas, so stay tuned!!
