A Problem Or Two
Hi KT,
We finally got out of the US on BA. (23 h of travelling yesterday!) We’re writing frim Vernazza, having taken the wong boat (but that’s all right it was cheaper) We got in a line at the harbor, thinking we were going to RioMaggiore. All these 5’Terre towns look alike’ — beautiful!
Today we got up at 10 am, having arrived at 1:30 am, and waking the proprietor. We were woken by chickens clucking from the vertical farm outside our window. Mom says it’s paradise! Lemons, roses, geraniums, nasturtiums and other flowers are every where.
Today we’ll take the 5Terre train and walk. It’s sunny and warm, getting lots of pictures, and will try to send some.
Love Dad & Mom
(Note from blogmeister: When Ed sends me email signed rakkkity, I know that’s code for post it on the blog. But when he copies me on emails he sends to his children, I’m not so sure. That unease, as you can see, does not stop the starving-for-material meister from posting.)
Finally there! Here’s to perseverance and optimism (however pessimistic the prognosticative prose). I’m sure that the bouquet of a terroir-rich Morellino di Scansano quaffed amidst evening breezes redolent of the sea will wash away all the stresses of passage. Can’t wait for the pictures … ! But spend your time finding them, not posting them — leave it to the blogmeister to maintain the interest of the readership from his own distant shores.
