Speaking of scary Republicans, though I only got to the end of this part so far (it's too much in one go even in reading :-) ), it appears they had less incidents with Europeans over politics than I would have expected. Also: where is Berlusconi? We demand a special report!
I was of course impressed that they travelled by train most of the time, but miffed by the lack of more appraisal and pictures :-) *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
They stopped sending them after Rome because people were complaining they were taking a long time to download. I mean, they sent A TON of the first few days, and then stopped. They took more pics, but I think are taking a mental break before embarking on uploading all of them...
Berlusconi:
As I said in the OT, it was not the 'rents, but my Paul's brother, who was invited to the WH for Columbus Day for a function with Berlusconi. That is all the special report I have for you. They had a great time, there was lots of pomp and circumstance, they love Bush, and that's all I know.
