  Story
 


After Anabelle, Ben, and I went to the pharmacy and were unable to get the medicine that we wanted, Anabelle and I bought an English/Italian dictionary and sat down at a cafe in the campo. We translated a bunch of phrases that we thought might be helpful when talking to Italian medical personnel to explain what we had done and what we still needed to do.

This is a useful phrase to know because very few Italian pharmacists or doctors speak English.
