A fine beer may be judged with only a sip, but it is better to be thoroughly sure – Czech proverb
On the Road Again – Italy to France
Beginning the journey west. Before leaving Italy we tried to pay the parking ticket. What a strange and convoluted process: 90 minutes from Post Office to Bank 1, then to Bank 2 (apparently only one will work), where a nice manager escorted us to the Police Station, where a bored commandant filled out a piece of paper, then back to Post Office. Then the clerk at Post Office decided to process a huge stack of mail, very, very slowly, before taking my money. No wonder tourists just leave town without paying! The best thing about the process: all the facilities were located around the same town square!
When we finally got out of town, travel through the Italian Alps was very interesting: green, lots of tunnels and very high bridges. Strange finds at the rest stops: rubber chickens and Mardi Gras masks??
Ok time to get started
This site is intended to keep family and friends appraised of our activities as we enter a new chapter in our lives. We have grand travel plans, baking classes and many projects we wish to share. One of the first projects is to customize this site!
