I didn’t keep a count, but at the time I wrote this category description, I probably spent more time in Italy than in any other country apart from Canada (my home) and the United States. And I’m not sure about the United States.
A lot of those days were part of trips that I took before starting this travel journal, so you won’t find descriptions of them here. Nevertheless, this category does hold a number of journal entries.
The Italy category is a subcategory of my “Europe” category. In turn, this country category has subcategories for the cities and towns I visited in the country. If I took a day trip to another city or town, I usually include that only in the subcategory for the city or town where I started and ended the day, not the target of the day trip. Sorry about that.
Then again, I’m not the most consistent person in the world. I might break that rule a few times. If this displeases you, you should definitely demand a refund.
