Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian f-listers, and a happy birthday to poetic_wonder. It is getting late in the day (for this old woman, at least), but I hope it was (and is) filled with good times, lady. Good times and cake. Be well

Many Italians speak English, particularly younger folks and those who live in the big cities. And in fact, a lot of them speak other European languages too--like French, since Switzerland is so close, or Spanish, since their languages are so similar. I don't think it's a stretch at all to have an airport/customs employee who speaks a few languages.

That works out well then. Thank you for the info. :)

thank you so much for the birthday wishes!

the Italian postal service motto is pretty much "whenever we get around to it." a friend sent a postcard from there once and it took over a month before I received it, whereas other things I've received from all over Europe only took a week. and now i'm thinking perhaps i was lucky to have received it at all.

i would read your story, put some duct tape over the mouth of inner critic Cowell.

You're very welcome. Hope it was a good one for you.

And hehe, thanks, I will try.
