Back in Milan & Back to Work

I’m finally back in Milan after a week traveling in Rome and Naples, where it turned out my internet connections were less-than-predictable… So I apologize for the lack of posts over the last week. I have lots to share – including a gajillion photos of the finish of the Giro d’Italia (where I actually got to touch the hand of my favorite cyclist), the story of how the city of Naples won my heart, and the ongoing saga of the bank machine that ate my debit card just before I hopped on a train to Rome.
Yeah, that last bit wasn’t terribly fun. But the rest of my trip was pretty amazing.
At any rate, I appreciate your patience, and I’ll be hard at work (slaving over a hot laptop, as they don’t really say – but should) this week trying to catch up.
