For all of you picturing me driving a little manual Fiat Punto around Italy and biting your nails, be afraid, be very afraid. No, actually, I was quite proud of myself- I did rather well, if I do say so myself. Once I got used to the facts that "Italians take their half out of the middle," as Jonathan always says, and tailgating is universal practice, it was actually kind of fun. I sure had to be on my toes though- twisty, windy, narrow roads; steep inclines; the most chaotic, misleading signage I could ever imagine; and crazy speeding Italians made for quite the adventure.
