I do believe that the vending machine in the Giancolo underground parking garage recieved a fair share of my money since it seemed impossible for me to walk to/from the Vatican and the NAC without buying a Chino.; 6:59 PM

it is a manly drink.
An aqquired taste.

I started drinking tonic water on principle!; 3:49 PM
