We have returned from a delightful trip to Italy, where we encountered a little more water resources than we planned on. Our Italian hosts blamed the wet and cold weather on the volcano, but I think big low-pressure systems may have had some role. The famous bicycle race, the Giro d’Italia, held an epic stage in the mud and rain on Saturday, not far from where we were staying in the hillside village of Titignano. Despite the rain, we managed to see much of that lovely country and enjoy great food and wine.
Ponte Vecchio over the Arno River
When the sun managed to break through a little, it shed great light on the landscape. I think I might have a cover photo or two. Unless you’re a hydrologist, or have a long memory, it’s hard to believe the beautiful and peaceful Arno River shown here ravaged the art treasures of Florence in 1966.
Many thanks to Susan for her usual fine job of holding things together. She sent me a priority “to do” list when I returned, and I’m caught up at least that far. Thanks also to Rich Alexander for standing by if needed for editorial decisions.
