HE MAKES ME LAUGH

Marriage can have a high survival rate when there is not only love but laughter. During our 25th wedding anniversary trip to Italy in 1996, we planned to stay in Rome enjoying all the sites visited previously and seeing new ones. This story is one of the funniest from that beloved holiday.
Adolph's cousin Lillina who lives and works in Rome, booked a small hotel away from the city center through a friend for a reasonable rate. We checked in at night since we had spent our first day in Adolph's hometown of Cassino, most of the second day with Lillina, dinner at her place then to the hotel.
As his usual holiday habit, Adolph rose at 5:00 a.m., left the hotel to explore the neighbourhood and to bring coffee, buns and juice back for me. I rushed to get up at 6:00 a.m., washed, dressed, then spent time organizing the room. By 7:30 a.m. I started to question where he might be.
Shortly afterwards, he appeared looking worried with no buns and a half cup of coffee. "I got lost", he said.
He told me of his tale. He went to Piazza Unghiere-piazzas usually have many streets that converge together. He bought the coffee, juice, powdered buns for us, started to eat and drink not noticing he was taking the wrong street to return to our hotel-Porpora Villas. He walked down one street then another, eating, drinking, spilling juice, and some of the powdered sugar on his top.
Finally deciding to ask a Bar Owner- bar in Italy usually is a coffee shop- for some directions. In Italian he stated, "I can't find my hotel." The man said "okay!" What is the name of your hotel?"" Well I don't know" says Adolph. "Okay!" " What is the name of the street for your hotel?" Adolph replied again, " I don't know!"
The man surveyed him with his arms full of half-eaten goodies, food spills on his clothes, looking a little disheveled. " You don't know the name of the Hotel. You don't know the name of the street. Are you sure your hotel isn't that Clinic across the street!"

Travel brings so many opportunities for life long memories. We still laugh together about not only this story but others from trips shared.
