Hotel in Catania

Not going well here thus far. First the lady on the plane, then you arrive in a country that thinks it is Europe but it is worse than the disorganization in Brazil; everyone treats you as if they were superior, they are almost becoming French. ;) Now I'm in the hotel, that is, if this can be called a hotel. I haven't been to to room yet but based on the ground floor here I'm not holding my breath. The city looks like it is in ruins. Sure people like this but I don't. I like new, or well preserved things. The city here gives the impression of ZERO preservation.
