Puerto Rico, May -July 2017
I was in Puerto Rico just a few weeks the "big" hurracaine that devastated the island. Everything looked so good at the time, it was very scary to see the devastation. During the storm I was in Italy and they showed in the news what was going on.
I also heard from a lot of people how offended they were when they saw the visuals of the US president tossing paper towels to the people as if they were dogs getting a bone. I was very impressed by the sensitivity of the Italian people.
