....the clock is ticking SLOW these days Man!. Waiting for the green light, for the pilot to turn off the no smoking sign and allow us to move freely about the cabin. I'm talking

In the meantime though, we went out for a drink all together last night, at the ClanDestino (a fav spot in town with great free music and overpriced drinks and KILLER free food for aperativo)











James got a little too rad on the way home after we discovered a beer vending machine...



And today was spent doing last minute clean up tasks outside cause it was gorgeous. Reminded me of the fall colours (yes with a U!) that I took pictures of the other day on my mid-week ride.









My favorite street was still bright green...








but even the plants in Italy defy fashion and I found a little bright road side purple...



Off to see one last show tonight in Ravenna, bags are packed and under the weight requirements, wine is safely stowed away, beard is trimmed and clothes neatly laid out for the next three days, even the bike box is feeling manageable. Tomorrow, one last huge day-long ride to stop in and see my Italian friends again before heading out on Monday. A few pictures and one more big philosophical post to follow...

see you soon.
