A Fiat, A Fuel Crisis, and the Meatball That Changed My Life

Part One

I understand that most people who write newsletters like this one are seasoned travelers. They can recommend where to stay, what to eat, and how to get safely from point A to B, avoiding any potential disasters.

I am not that person.

I am the scout sent ahead of the troops to uncover all that can possibly go wrong. Follow me and I will lead you straight into the mud.

This story comes in two chapters—Part Two will follow next week. One reason I chose to post an audio file is that there are no photos of this particular adventure. That’s because it was never intended to be an adventure at all.
