Trevi Fountain tickets could soon be introduced in RomeRome is looking at ways to curb overtourism and a ‘lack of respect’ for one of the most famous bucket list destinations in the city.www.euronews.com

In series, not parallel!

Glad to hear you haven’t been seriously ill. You scared me when you said “I’m back on the booze again.” Wasn’t intentionally prying, but just didn’t want to ignore your post!

Although I shy away from guided tours, I’d be very tempted to do one or both of these. Thank you so much, serafina . Good find!

Well, we routinely celebrate Mardi Gras in October at our place in Buenos Aires, so WHY NOT?
He really is a nut job. And the US is rattling his chain by making it hard for him to travel in comfort.
US government seizes plane used by Venezuelan president, citing sanctions violationsThe U.S. government has seized a plane used by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, citing violations of sanctions and export control laws.apnews.comThis part is rich:
“Venezuela’s government acknowledged the seizure in a statement Monday. It characterized the U.S. government’s move as “a repeated criminal practice that cannot be described as anything other than piracy.”
(I guess they know a thing or two about criminal practices)

If booze is a problem, then I hope you can kick it. Meds for what, SpaceNut ? I hope you haven’t been ill.
