Pre-Trip Report

We were taken completely by surprise by the vocalist’s presence, but it was all very fun and festive and not over the top or disruptive at all

Oh yes . . . I forgot -- the entertainment seems to have started during the "Festive Season," and I agree that it's fun and not over the top!

JSunset in 15 minutes, and the last of the Tradewind flights of the day taking off in sexy Pilati into unsettled skies.
Evokes some emotion, but can’t put my finger on which

Joy that you are not on the sexy airborne beast?

I hope not homesickness, no?

Chilling in Vitet this evening. Cost averaging. Catching our breath.
Mahi with linguine, tomato, garlic (lots), butter.
Molto bene.
Meursault nice too

Looks pretty delicious . . . and always nice to be '"home!"

... Cost averaging.

Our new SBH mantra!

Works for me.

Have to average with the Euro at $1.19

Have to average with the Euro at $1.19

Today is a bargain! 1€=1.1887$… and I am kidding that it’s a bargain… rounds to $1.19. It’s just fun to see “8s” once in a while!

 

[cassidain]

More cost averaging.
Leftover langouste+oeufs+tomates+fromage+Meursault = brunch de luxe gratuit (presque)

Good exercise and good use of those sidewalks that Dennis (and others) convinced President Magras to build.

La montée de Camaruche est fini. Il nous reste la montée de Vitet.
Heureusement que nous ne logeons pas à Dévêt

Combien de pas as-tu faits, Cass ? As-tu un compteur sur ta montre ?

Lucali for dinner tonight.
Not sure what pricing hysteria was about.
Least expensive dinner of the trip. By far.
Malfy gin Martinis.
San Pelegrino
Argiano Rosso di Montalcino.
Shared a salade, then aubergines parmigiana and classic size Margarita pizza with anchovies.
Brought home leftovers.
The pizza looks like nothing. But, was the most ethereal, light-on-its-feet pizza I’ve ever had. Aubergines also excellent.
Gville parking was insane tonight.
Guess that shuttle a bust
