I think he likes the travel! He's a Vietnan vet; wonder which branch of service.
He said he had the dream to try living in Italy.Flat Earth Trucker and Numb Thank this. -
He sounds like a renaissance man. I took my wife to Italy two summers ago. We visited Rome, Naples and the Amalfi coast. Great food, well it's Italy, and beautiful country. I highly recommend visiting for those thinking about it but do not go during the summer. Way too hot. Early Spring or early Fall would be best and less touristy.
Flat Earth Trucker and Chinatown Thank this. -
