You people were in ITALY. Why the hell were you drinking water a arent nd Coke?
The best wine I’ve ever tasted was 80 cents a litre.

In (a weak) response, I was 19 at the time; and wasn’t drinking yet. Also, there’s no better way to experience architecture than to drink from it; the fountains (potable ones, especially) of Rome are well know throughout history as some of the most characteristic things about the grand old place. That, and I was nearly broke, so free trumped 80 cents a liter!
