Home away from home













My room for the next few weeks until we are off to Florence.




Here are the standard facilities in an Italian bathroom. Toilet and a bidet.




The toilet we all know what it is used for, a bidet, for an Italian is used for washing one's privates. For a tourist, an American tourist, it has many other functions: soaking tired feet, chilling a bottle of wine, beer or soda with some ice, washing small laundry items, and for washing one's privates once we have stopped laughing.
