emily & have actually been referring to him as our boyfriend, considering we have so many dates with rick steves. you should see her book. it's covered with post-its and margin notes...she did her homework. as for me, i didn't invest that much time in it until i got here, but he really knows what's up. imagine working for him...or being him! ah geez. Ricky tells you everything you'd need to know about the best things to see in italy. (or whichever country/region's book one chooses to buy). He even warns you about the abundance of pigeons and what to do if one poops on you (let it dry on your head, but wipe it immediately off your clothes).
we're currently planning our next 2 weekends (milan & lake como this weekend, capri & pompei next weekend)...and ricky just knows where it's at! tomorrow our whole group is leaving siena for a 3-day trip to venice. for the next five days, mr. steves will be holding my hand, guiding me to the important sights, the cheapest gandolas & the streets least infected by pigeons.
i LOVE rick! he's been with me on every big trip i've taken the past 10 years. enjoy!
