Back from vacation in Italy:

*Colosseum - amazing something that massive could have been built 2,000 years ago and that, but for an earthquake, still largely be in tact.

*St. Peter's - beautiful. And walking into the Sistine Chapel was surreal seeing it in person. Roman Forum, Circus Maximus, site of Julius Caesar's death, Pantheon, also awesome sites.

*Florence - Gorgeous city. One little square after another with a huge church and various businesses. Statue of David incredible along with other art museums.

*Day trip to Pisa for obligatory pics. Damn thing is empty inside. Who knew? Approximately 2 and 1/2 minutes for the beagle to climb the stairs to the top.

*Venice is a postcard city meaning every time you turn around or turn a corner it's another picture you "have" to take. Standard gondola ride.

*Took two boat rides, two cab rides, and five train rides to get out and back to Lamborghini factory/headquarters. Also took dang near all day, but worth it. Probably 25-30 pristine cars in the museum, including my all-time favorite car, the 1980's Countach. Also had the new model Countach, which base prices at around $2.5 million.

*Food is ridiculously good. Ate gelato at least once every day. And my lord, you can't sling a cat anywhere over there without a hitting an awesome outdoor cafe/restaurant/bar.

*Italy is loaded with hotties who have made the correct decision to wear revealing blouses without bras.

They seem to be on the way out tho. I've been monitoring the situation closely.
Meanwhile, thongs (and even g-strings) are now acceptable swimwear in many situations.

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K, dudes, and that's awesome.

Also, let's not neglect to appreciate that the underwire bra and other such technology is no bad thing. I'll take a trend of more supportive bras while underwear becomes barely a rumor all day / every day.

As touristy cliche as it is, the gondola ride at sunset was one of my favorite parts of the trip.

Also- the cafes, coffee, wine and pasta. Hope to return some day.

Think I’d spend a few days on the Amalfi coast next time. Most beautiful place I’ve ever been.

I need some help. I really like this Jack Harlow feller. Aside from the name Jack, which is and always be pretty badass for a guy, I love his new song “First Class” but can’t sing along because he raps about throwin up the Ls and I just can’t support that.

How y’all handle it? Just skip that line the 12 times he says it and go with the rest or just boycott the song in general? What’s the play here? I know y’all have thought about it. Song’s on the radio every 15 damn minutes.

Leaving for Rome on Tuesday with the kids.

Of course it's in the middle of a damn heat wave.

I mean, I’m still enjoying the glow of a world of women in yoga pants everywhere everyday.

Question:

How are the beaches/beachtowns of Michigan?

Subquestion:

How do they compare to your typical East Coast/Gulf beaches?

Cinque Terre is pretty dope too. I can’t believe it’s been10 years since we went to Italy (no kid) for 15 days. Game changer.

Venice is erotic.

Couple of things that some people might miss that I found interesting:

Circus Maximus - not much left of it, but as a race horsey fan, I liked seeing one of the original "tracks" if you will.

Place of Julius Caesar's assassination. Recently uncovered discovery. Wasn't really marked at all, took a bit of an effort to find it, but obviously the site of a huge event in human history. Not all that far from Colosseum.

Spanish Steps - Really neat market area and if you climb to the top, it's a pretty view. Can see St. Peter's Basilica from a distance.

They are a lot more relaxed, imo. I lived in Holland, right on Lake Michigan for a bit and Saugatuck and other little areas up and down the lake were really nice for the most part. This was 20 years ago so I assume its evolved a bit, but at the time it was mostly locals and not really an out of towner vacation destination. I dont think its been as overrun with New York/Jersey trash like the Carolina beaches have- yet.
