   I swear to God Italy used to be the Florida of Europe.

   This is how my parents portrayed going to school back in their day.

   Seems strange, it’s not like there aren’t bridges in the area (and there were back then). Maybe there had been some natural disaster?

   You had a rope? I’m my day we had to swim upstream both ways.
