I haven't posted for a few weeks because I was in Italy. Now I am back, and not happy about it.
It's not just that the scenery is gorgeous there,
or that the architecture is amazing,
or that the food is great,
I have been sitting at the Barnes and Nobel cafe pretty regularly for the past fours years, and have only met one single person. We say hi now, but that's it. Everyone, including me, is glued to their computers, not making any eye contact, let alone conversation.
Oh how I wish I were back in Venice, navigating about with my poor Italian and making friends.
