So...next Friday...if you're a hopelessly bored resident of the Pittsburgh area and you're not holding tickets to Meghan Trainor or Nicki Minaj or The Oak Ridge Boys or The Lemonheads...and you happening to be driving through Millvale...

Idiot Abroad: Day 8: Bari

Idiot Abroad: Day 7: Train from Bologna to Bari

So, let me get this straight. Five hours in Area Silenzio, staring out the window while immersing myself in Nick Cave's 2001-2007 output?

Did I miss The Rapture?

Was it cool?

Were there snacks?

Idiot Abroad: Day 4: Venice

Still struggling with wine glass grip. Still searching for that elusive Olive Garden.

Idiot Abroad: Day 3: Venice

After years of martinis, I'm struggling with the wine glass grip; like a fastball pitcher trying to learn the knuckler after Tommy John surgery.
