It didn&#8217;t work out that way, which was something of a relief to me because I was terrified of driving in Italy. I still haven&#8217;t driven in Italy, but after driving on Crete [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=exoticmundane.wordpress.com&amp;blog=829643&amp;post=82&amp;subd=exoticmundane&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It keeps raining, the patisserie is closed until the 28th, and while the Grease reality show is over, there is now a fabulous and addictive replacement: Britain&#8217;s got talent. Holy cow! It&#8217;s great. While there are arguably people with more actual talent, my favorite [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=exoticmundane.wordpress.com&amp;blog=829643&amp;post=81&amp;subd=exoticmundane&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been to Graceland and had my picture taken in front of the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, and the Statue of Liberty. But that was all pre-R.
