just back from Italy watching Euro 2012 with the locals. People say that football (soccer) is the unifying force of the country and it seemed to be. In an open air bar, every passerby, even joggers, would stick their heads in to check out the game for a few moments. Everyone inside made room and welcomed each newcomer. The most unusual place we found was in Florence where you could order gelato (over 50 flavors) to go with your game.
We have become new Italia fans!
