I interrupt these intermittent Italy recaps with a warning. (I promise, so much more is on the way!)
In the words of Baz Lhurmann, Wear Sunscreen.
If you don’t, you will end up like our Italian friend, who we affectionately nicknamed, Skeletore. (Pronounced with an Italian accent like Ske-le-tor-ray). From far away she is a specimen to behold. But up close, you see what many years of excessive tanning will do to you.
Friends don’t let friends not wear sunscreen. Trust me on this.

Scary stuff!!! Italian women now tan all hear by going to solariums. Many more are going to look like this soon. Italy makes excellent leather products, now it seems they are growing their own.
Yes Debra. That’s exactly what I thought, Italian leather products. Eek!
I meant year, not near!
