It was not a perfect performance by me. I made a few mistakes and did not at all feel that comfortable. I felt as if I were forcing everything although it is not that obvious that this was occurring. I appear for the most part relaxed, but I was not. I don't come out of traumatic experiences well and this was typical. Most people would wonder what I was was talking about after all I can now see with 20-30 vision in both eyes and have no residual effects so far. Nonetheless, the entire experience was quite unnerving for me and I am happy cataract surgery is behind me.
The show this evening had three parts. There was the summary of what we did on our last trip, what were highlights, and basically discusses why we love Italy so much. I also talk about our wonderful friends. In the second part I talk about all the things I discovered in Florence that were new and different from any of my previous 22 times there. Finally I do the "bridge show" focusing on several throughout Italy but primarily Florence and Venice. The enjoyed the first two parts much more than the third, although I must say that by then I was rather tired and eager to get home. As I said I made a few slight error, like calling Laura Lidia, mispronouncing several Italian words, and once again getting mixed up between east and west on the Arno River in Florence. Most people would probably like the show at least that is really what I hope. The original show # 123 has been deleted from Youtube since it was not what I wanted so if you saw that one five weeks ago then try this one also.
I look forward to creating more shows and have many ideas as I already indicated. Ric Hirst has consented to join me on August 26 for a discussion about why he loves Italy and indeed bought a house there spending 5 months a year until recently.
