Just so everyone knows, we did indeed arrive in one piece in Italy, with all our luggage. That was a relief, because after Air France lost all my luggage (it was stolen, I'm sure, in Paris, as that's the last anyone saw of it), it makes me pretty nervous. I still haven't replace a bunch of things I lost.

Anyhow, I'm really happy to be back in Italy, although finding an appartment is proving to be a bit of a trial. We should have something soon in any case.
