More about that 3 week vacation in Europe

Here's a little more from Dr. Z, the sports writer who loves wine (and who just got back from vacation). Here he talks about almost throwing up and passing out in a fancy restaurant (not because each meal was 142 Euros) that turned expensive food into a 3.5 hour ordeal. He also names a few European restaurants he likes.

Also interesting was the art in Hotel Turm in the northern Italian town, Fie. A not to army vets: visiting your old base might be more frustrating than fun:

"No is no, see?" And then it all started coming back. The Army. The tight, stupid faces. The denials--just to show they could do it. The barracks sergeant who cleaned out my locker the day the football season ended, and threw out, among other things, draft cards I'd gotten from the Colts and the Browns.

"Let's get the hell out of this place," I said to Linda.
