Well I have been sick with acute Bronchial Asthma for several days now. It is the second time in 3 years that this has happened to me in Rome. It is due to a combination of cold and humid air we get from the sea only 35 km from the city and the other temperature patterns swirling around the City. Rome is or was originally a swamp surrounded by low hills with 2 rivers crossing it.
There is also air pollution which does not help matters much, too many cars for such a small place and buildings built for hot weather meaning all stone, marble and concrete which keeps the cool. The months of March-April are deadly in Rome, cold humid buildings poorly heated never kills the chill and the smell of damp mildew everywhere. We have also had a lot more rain in the last 2 years than is normal in winter with much colder weather, we did have snow this past winter.
I am currently taking all this medicine to clear my lungs, makes me tired and restless and have difficulty sleeping despite being tired. Hopefully this will pass in the next few days.
Picture is me last year during our visit at the Monastery of Montserrat, Catalonia, Spain, which is near the city of Barcelona.
Damn..It sounds like a miserable situation Laurent.
