Well, Medusa and I arrived in Munich after the most crowed flight to Europe I have ever been on. Not a single empty seat, however Ambien is my new god, as both of us were able to sleep about 7 hours and missed the two fabulous inflight movies: Herbie rides again, and Madagascar. Our 2 hour stay in Munich was highlighted by some nice Weiss Bier and then off to Rome. It was raining when we got there (Sat eve), we stayed with my friend Cristina, her husband Frank, and two small lovely children. Sunday they had more people over and we had BBQ in the backyard of their house in Castelli Romani outside of Rome. Then the 8 hour train ride to Tropea, a bit of rain on the way, we got there in the evening and had a delicious dinner with my friend Eugenio, octopus, swordfish carpachio, risotto, and some sort of white fish topped with shaved potatoes and cooked in a wood-fired oven. amazing! then a walk through the streets of Tropea, wonderfully perfect temperature. While we slept the rain came with a vengance, Today the streets were rivers for a while... Oh well, at least we are here! Still lots of fun! and of course wine doesn't go bad in the rain! Forcast is for.... you guessed it! MORE RAIN! We'll keep you posted. Ciao Raggazzi! Snakey!
