Astronomy and Coffee

Florence and Venice, a bit of Bologna and Treviso. Nice weather, a lot of history and the arrival of stage 13 of the Giro d'Italia 2009 in Florence, amazing!!

Italy is the closest to a chaos you can get, I love the country, but it's really messy!! Drivers, on the street or on the road are terrible, seems that street directions or any other kind of street sign are just "indications", they are not really taken seriously ... and problems get transfered to you very "easily". For example, going in the motorway in Bologna the automatic station where you should get your ticket was down, getting to Florence I had no ticket, so I received a "fine", which I had to go to a service point from the motorway company to explain what has happened and pay what I was suppose to pay ... that meant wasting time and stressing searching for this place and there you're treated like an idiot who didn't get the ticket at the damned broken station ... at the end they are "so kind" to let you pay ONLY what you're suppose to ...

Just an example of the many stressful situations we've been. Of course the other part just makes you forget about it all (I'm writing this here ASAP before I forget it all hehehehehe).

Back to science: morphological classification. This will be going almost the whole week.
