    Love all your videos. I’m a happy subscriber! Just got back from 15 days in Italy. You covered a lot but you have to mention the Travel Grills along the highways. I had grilled swordfish and fresh spinach with olives. Nice bakery. Try that in the US. Thanks

    @@ChrisKermis, I really enjoy hanging out around Lago Maggiore, Garda and Orta. Domodossola is cool to check out too. If you hop on the narrow-gauge train between Domodossola and Locarno (Switzerland), you'll come across some neat authentic villages, with houses and roofs made of stones, little local shops, and a medieval atmosphere. By the way, if you decide to revisit Switzerland, I'd be glad to meet up for a coffee:)

    We are sooo fancy and loud 😂😉 Please let me explain you how to pronunce Freccia. It's not Frekkia, because that c + c + i sounds like cha cha cha, a soft c, and the c is double, so... Frech-chia 😊. But... If you say "chi" (who), or "che" (which, or that) the c is hard, and you pronunce ki and ke. ...We are fancy, loud and complicated 😂😂😂

    Oops I was sounding like a fool the whole time with that one! At least I know for next time 🙂 Fancy and loud is a good thing! I always love traveling to Italy and it was great to see Bologna, Moderna and Parma for the first time on this trip

    Are you still in Emilia Romagna? Don't miss Ferrara and Ravenna! Fancy and loud are not the qualities I personally like most in people, especially loudness but I know Italians are well known for these two among others 😂 For the pronounciation of Freccia, it has been funny and nice to hear Frekkia and also it has been funny and nice to hear "pawlee eenglese" 😊 I hope that my baaad english can result funny and nice too 😂😂😂
