Our friend, Michael Mewshaw, was a friend of Graham Green, and yes, love his travel writing along with H. V. Morton in Italy. Gone are the days, but you do an awfully good job of it. I read one sentence to my honey and he said, "He's very very good. Wow!" I looked up the little town and it is charming,..still, I hope.

My honey has just informed me that there are 30,000 Airbnb‘s in Rome and I had no idea and some of the least expensive start around 600 a night but I’m going to do some research on this because we too search for a sweet little village where we will not see people in their underwear having a beer and a Panini and contributing very little to the economy as they behave in my beloved city. I shall have to look up that last city……

There's an Airbnb problem in lots of places - Barcelona, for one.

They are everywhere, all over SE Asia.

I've wondered why the migrants from South of Mexico didn't stay in Mexico. They could have had asylum there, they speak the language, the could have found employment. They had to know that getting into the US was almost impossible and the journey was dangerous, especially with children. That, and how did they accumulate enough money to pay for the journey?
