Readers, I’m still here. And why wouldn’t I be? My COVID was relatively mild, all things considered. I’m over a week out of isolation and little the worse for it. (I still cough a bit. But that’s more psychosomatic.) Yet: I’m still here....

One thing I love about Italy is how easy it is to travel within the country. You can easily buy tickets for a train and travel wherever you want to go! Figuring out the train system was a little intimidating at first, but after you use it a couple of times it is very...
