Do you have ambition to live or retire abroad?

Aint nobody trying to go to Israel right now!

When was the last time you went to Italy and where did you go?

I went to Rome, Florence, Cinque Terre & Bellagio/Lake Como. Florence was my least favorite place. It wasn’t bad per se.. I just didn’t understand the hype. It felt like the Dallas of Italy.
ok this is weird
Florence is my favorite and maybe top 5 city worldwide
(like Barcelona, I felt the complete synthesis of architecture as living art)
Rome, otoh, I found just ok

other than Florence, Lucca and Bologna - also Taormina, Sicily were standouts
Torino & Milan (industrial North) were least favorite
and clearly we hit Loano at wrong time bc I was very excited by the idea of Italian Rivera (the crushing amount of Germans tempered that excitement quickly)
