  1. les blues are my favorite, but i still can't believe they blew that shit in 2016 against fucking portugal.

    brasil's lineup sure looks nice.  deutschland uber alles is getting up there in age across the board.

    portugal, spain, argentina always a legitimate threat in addition.

    this world cup will be interesting for off-the-field storylines i suspect.

  2. i got a standard fiat from europcar that i picked up in milan and dropped off in venice a week later that was not expensive at all...but the expense ratchets up if you want an automatic quite a bit.

    one other thing to just be aware of with driving is that the highways (autostrade) are all tolls and can really rack up on long drives so just don't forget that.

    Also, wtf to Phillip out by himself line dancing.  

    He was there with work people from the travel agency. The husband that was reluctant to dance works for Phillip. 

    Scene’s purpose was to further demonstrate his continued integration into the culture. Just living the dream and happy while Elizabeth is miserable.

    never been to europe before,  just flying into paris for 5 days and then back to houston.   what vicinity would you suggest our hotel be? what would be the most convenient to restaurants, shops, museums, etc?   we will most likely not venture out of the city to see any countryside, but am looking forward to it just the same.  i haven't been a tourist in a long time.  please tell me the cant miss places for someone who's never been.

    if you want to be in the center of the universe, the 1st, 5th, 6th, or 7th arrondissement.  however, everyone has their own experiences and the places they love that are scattered all over.  one of the things i would strongly recommend is a place near a metro stop and a willingness to learn the metro/rer.  it makes where you stay virtually irrelevant as it is one of the best and most convenient in the world.

    i like le marais the most (4th). 

    as for spots, you need to give a bit more on what you like to do.  art & architecture, food, history, activity, religious, etc...

    I need recommendations for two days in Rome, and anything you know about the Amalfi Coast.  

    penelope, i will weigh in with more later but having read your past posts on general travel, i would strongly recommend you get a reservation at la pergola in rome for dinner one night.
