I have been there three times and on one occasional we had a snotty waiter. The rest were great. The food was great and the scenery wonderful. It was Italy where I found the people in hotels and restaurants a little hard to take. Well, everyone knows by now that my experiences in France were different than yours 8-). My only experience in Italy outside the airport in Rome was Sicily, Where I was generally favorably impressed. They kept offering me pasta I didn't care for, but I was also offered so much other food that I didn't suffer 8-) I also had some wonderful calamari more than once. -- Erilar, biblioholic medievalist |

I used to worry about getting them toys past airport security, but (not surprisingly), the TSA has not confiscated any of it. Recently, while travelling with some friends on the Athens subway, one of them lost a wallet. I admit that I was disappointed that they did not get my fake wallet, instead. Is there some scope for a skilled pickpocket in the USA? there are actually very few pickpockets in the US. we have MUGGERS. |

I have also made grilled cheese sandwiches with both American rye and Jewish rye, both with caraway seeds. BLTs are yummy on seeded rye bread, too. I never buy Russian rye as it is dark, has no caraway seeds and is for the birds as you say!. --Jean |
