The price of Eggs

I got it wrong in my earlier post. Eggs Benedict's jaunt with Georg in the Dolomites - because clearly his lakeside retreat at Castel Gandolfo just isn't sufficiently close to God - isn't costing the Italian government €40,000 at all. It's costing the Veneto region something like €345,000.

Sorry.

But then the people of the Veneto region would not have had the opportunity to see his holiness and friend up close and personal. Some things, one just can't and should't put a price on....
