That post is hilarious.
You sure are a writer. If I ever have the time, and SI lives, I'm going to make separate collections of posts of the three best writers I've read on SI: Gauguin (who is, sadly, gone from these precincts), Steven Rogers, and you. You and Gaugie produce literature, Steven polemics, but I've seen remarkable writing from you three and I'm sure none of you will collect it yourselves. Life being what it is, I won't either, no doubt. But I feel someone should.
Surely Barcelona has been upgraded, touristically speaking, since the 70's.
But I'm going to just keep those things in mind so as not to have second thoughts about Venice.
I'm sure that everything is still closed from noon to 2:00. That's true in Italy, too, pretty much. The restaurants aren't closed, though, so you can have lunch and take a nap then. |
