7 June 2008: MI AMICO
In 1995 & 1998, I toured Italy by bicycle. During each trip I spent a weekend with my Italian friend Piero. Over the last 10 years, I had lost contact with him. Prior to leaving for my driving tour of Europe, we reconnected by e-mail. We made arrangements to meet to spend day together. As usual, Piero again became the perfect tour guide of interesting places near his town of Meldola. First we went to Bertinoro, where we walked around this beautiful small Emilia Romagna town. After talking to some friends & making few phone calls, he found me a room at the Hotel Panorama. My room had a superb view of the beautiful Italian scenery. Later we buzzed around in his Fiat visiting the two hill towns of Longiano & Roncofreddo. Later that evening I was invited by Piero to dine with some of his friends at a local restorante. It was a memorable finish to a great Saturday visit in Italy. Thank you Piero, for sharing your friends with me.

7 June 2008 I’m in Italy
I’m doing fine here at the Hotel Panarama in Bertinaro Italy. I’ve been off line for several days now due to connection problems with a certain WiFi provider with a web log-in web page that is not compatible with my computer. Since my last blog posting, I’ve left Switzerland & entered Italy via the St Bernard pass. I’ll back to posting more text pictures as soon as possible. I’ve got some catching up to do.
