From Germany to Italy


We left München Friday. Came to think of it, it was in this very city Hitler and the nazi movement had its cradle and its first big rallies in the twenties. Today, Münich stands out as the western city with the inner city most densely populated by moslems, many of them apparently with wahhabite traditions, with black veils covering the womens faces. Quite ironic.

It took us about five hours to drive over the alps, passing Austria and reaching the small village Strassoldo south of Udine where we rent a house for a fortnight. Peaceful environtments, close to a medieval castle, only separated from our house by a small creek. But as soon as we settled we realized an fearless army awaits us. A big fig tree in the garden sends around 400 of it rotten fruits to the soil, attracting flies and making the garden impossible to exist in unless you like to walk around in marmalade - or - rake the stuff up twice a day. Which of course was our option.
