We had wonderful meals and brought back pastries from the best bakery in Lucca or perhaps in all of Toscana.
I think there are three things that are really pissing me off about my native country right now. The first is the hypocrisy of the administration in deploring the civilian massacres in Iraq by our troops. Che palle!!! Then there's the xenophobic anti-immigrant noise that reminds me of the fascist right here in Italy: Fini's party and the Lega Nord people. And finally, the craven appeal to homophobia.
I'm really glad I'm out of there and I wish New York City and a few other places would declare independence from the rest of the nation. It's mind-boggling that the corruption issues in the government haven't provoked major strikes or demonstrations. People at home seem to have gotten novacaine shots to their brains.
So I'm back to my rants.

To the posters whose comments I deleted: either present a cogent difference of opinion or fuck off. Thank you.
I'm glad to have read your comment. Just I wish it would be read by the people with the novocain shots in their brains, too.
As long as there are people with a critical mind there's hope that "big brother" will eventually find back to humanity.
Edited to add that I love your gardens. It must be hard to garden in Sicily... I heard that water is strictly rationed.
It's not Sicily. It's Tuscany. But water is rationed here, too. So yes, it's hard.
Thanks for your support re: my earlier comment. Hope you keep checking in.
