Once upon a time, during our earlier visit to Italy, I had a whole post ready to write about laundry. I think a picture and a few sentences will suffice now. Most Italians do not have a dryer, only a washer. That means there is always laundry out drying.
Public transit is very Italian. We took the bus and tram to Padovaland today. They were both packed with people. Transit is reliable and affordable, and part of the culture. When we first got on the bus, there was drama between the ticket police and others who had not paid for their tickets. Periodically the ticket police will get on a bus or tram to make sure that you have paid and validated your ticket.
Padovaland is a water park that is a bit larger than Rolling Hills. Dave found out that they have a super deal on Tuesdays and entrance is only 12 euro per person. It was a lot of fun, though several activities would not pass U.S. liability checks.
Roundabouts are also very Italian. There are very few stoplights, only in major traffic centers where there are also a lot of pedestrians.
