There are thousands of restaurants in Italy. Some are excellent and very affordable and others that are not worth mentioning. My wife and I like to go to where the "locals" eat and where these restaurants are not looking for the "tourists" trade. The menus are in Italian only and the wait staff will only speak Italian to you.  But on your part, if you attempt to speak with a few words spoken in Italian and with some hand gestures, you will be rewarded with a very fine and memorable meal.

However, there are many fine restaurants in Italy and in over the 16+ years of traveling to Italy and now living in Italy for 7+ years, I can count on one hand the number of restaurants that I would not return to for another meal.

That's it for Tuesday, 14 August 2007: martedì, 14 agosto 2007.

Please note that there are differences between iPods and MP3 media players. When you download music or a video from a web site, they may NOT be compatible between specific media, mobile and/or portable devices. For example, "The top consumer complaint at online music service Napster: Songs purchased at Napster won't play on Apple's iPod.". Read the USA Today story above, "Closed systems leave song buyers out in the cold".

You can find out more about these differences by looking at the terms under DEFINITIONS above.

While I have made separated sections and distinctions above for PODCASTS and MP3, many podcasts are in a MP3 audio format that can be downloaded to an iPod or Mp3 media player. You need to pay particular attention if you are downloading music or a video to an iPod or Mp3 media player.

If anyone has any comments or further clarification about this matter, I solicit your feedback.
