size underwear I thought I did a very good job of preparing for my trip, including purchasing some lightweight wool underwear that didn\'t seem to provoke an allergic reaction on my sensitive skin. I had shoes and alternate shoes, a raincoat that folded into a small plastic case, etc., etc. Unfortunately, I gave no thought at all to the possibility of a heatwave, and did not have a single item of lightweight clothing with me. On my last night in Brussels, Marga & I were discussing over dinner how unexpectedly delightful the weather had been all weekend during the JKPP meetup. I mentioned that I thought my next task was going to have to be shopping because turtlenecks and even v-neck long sleeve t-shirts were not going to cut-it in now 80F Italy. She promptly popped upstairs and found some perfect lightweight, loose, colorful, correct size clothing and gave it to me. I ended up wearing this outfit every day. The weather was so warm I could wash it in my sink every night and it would be dry in the morning. I did look around for additional clothing to augment it, but now I was spoiled by the perfect outfit. Nothing else seemed as good as these two items. Did I mention the pants had deep pockets? So, thank you thank you thank you to Marga both for her generosity in hosting me in Brussels, and for giving me the clothes \'off her back\' ;) I loved living in this clothing while in Italy, and look forward to taking them out again for the next hot spell here in San Francisco. And thank you to the random tourist that took this photo for me. More travel photos eventually... it\'s slow sorting through the 2000 snaps that digital made all too easy.
