Looking at the goldsmith across the road from Kaffeekommunezwei, I was quietly wishing that my Italian was a bit better.

Like” what’s a “Heib”?

“Che cosa è una Heib?” I thought.

Bit of luck that RIGHT ACROSS THE ROAD is the Accademia Italiana Mainz, who I was sure could help me out.

I mentioned my idea to Paul.

“Actually”, he said (looking a bit worried…) “It’s INA Heib…like, her name…?.”

Well, I’m not going to let something like THAT get in the way of a good story…..
