Bob’s Sabbatical

October 31, 2009

 

            We woke to a beautiful Tuscan morning – clear sky, mist in the hills, etc.  We pack and head for Roma, where we will stay near the airport for our flight to Israel tomorrow (which means we will not be “doing” Rome).  Susan (Montestigliano) suggests going down the coast road, and suggests we get off for lunch at Porto Stephano or Porto Ercole.  Great advice.  Drive was beautiful, and we found a little  place overlooking the Mediterranean with good sandwiches near Porto Ercole.

            We find the hotel in Rome, I spend too much time finding gas to top off the rental car, and return to hotel to worry about weight of suitcases (El Al has 20 kilo limit – 44 lbs.). 

            Just like home, no trick-or-treaters here (our end of the street never can compete with the Ligons and the Jones').

Peace

   Bob

Hi, again - I'm just now getting caught up some more on your wonderful trip. I just finished Oct. 31, will save November for tomorrow. Your pictures are wonderful.
Several times I have mentioned to Iain "Please remind me when we get home to have a look at Bob's blog." Once it came out "Blob's bog" so that's how we discuss your trip now!
Have a wonderful rest-of-the-trip, Bob and Susan.

Peggy and Iain
