Happy driving to one and all. With the above resources, I hope and wish you can find that Italian city and/or town on the map.

For your safety, do NOT read the map and drive! Have a navigator (read passenger) look at the map and give you directions. If you do not have a passenger in the car with you, pull off to the side of the road to read the map.

That's it for Thursday, 17 November 2005: giovedì, 17 Novembre 2005

Ciao, Ben

Today’s quote is an Italian proverb, author unknown.
