Tour of Italy with my husband 1995
To Rome from Florence, last days. To spend a night near the sea. Unbeknown to us, Ferragosto, every Italian in the country at coasts. Every hotel, no vacancy. Toll-taker tells us, “go to Fregenae.” Room $15. No A/C, no bathroom. Sweat pooling in the hollows of body and mosquitos. Morning, to husband, “start the car, we’re out of here.” Hotel’s daytime manager, grabs my wrist, “no American woman should sleep in a room like that.” Horrified by his servitude. Tour remodeled rooms of hotel, A/C so cold and bathroom. Mile from the ocean. 3 more days, $15 a night. Yes.
