They are. They're family to me and they treat me like one of their kid.

The "joys" of cap and tube wiring, along with ZERO grounds. GFCI? no way. We had to totally rewire the place, but luckily there was a crawl space underneath. One of the more amazing things to me was that the ENTIRE house was on a single 20 amp circuit. In the "old days" there were no microwaves, televisions, blow driers, clothes driers, computers, etc. and homes had very modest electrical service!

Every single bit of "infrastructure" had to be replaced. Not to mention "double hung" windows that had been essentially painted shut. And dealing with things like the legal property definition being "lot X of development project XXXXXX as filed with the county of San Diego on June XX, 1887". Even finding the property lines was a hassle.

What I can say is that it is not what the travel channels would make you believe. The tourist zones are crowed, dirty, smelly and very commercialized. The non tourist zones were just crowded, dirty and smelly. Probably the best time to visit there was about 2,000 years ago so maybe @humfrz has some suggestions. I did visit Italy on leave from Germany and again it isn't what you would think. Pretty much any of the tourist areas are absolutely thronged with people all the time. The countryside is nicer but you can see almost the same thing by driving through rural California.

I was drinking water and almost spilled it on my keyboard lol. I come from Honduras so crowded, smelly, and dirty is something I'm used to. I've been doing some reading and it seems to resonate with what you've said, basically they suggest to avoid large markets and what not, just go to the sightseeing places with a tour guide. As far as Italy goes, I've been also told to avoid the big cities and stick to the country side. |

I am a huge archelogy buff and have watched hundreds of hours of videos' on Pompeii and Herculaneum and would love to visit them but almost ever thing on them says they are also so crowed and restricted now you really don't see much. You couldn't pay me to go back to Rome though!
