Arrivederci, Italia!

Wow, it's hard to believe that our month in Italy has come to an end. We've certainly made the most of our time here and have covered many kilometers doing it. We've gone from the deep south to the far east in Puglia, enjoyed the rugged cliffs and beautiful coastline of Abruzzo and explored the rolling hills of Umbria.

We've seen things, eaten food and drank wines unique to each region and spent time visiting with old friends. The pizza stains on my clothes will fade in time, but the memories of these thirty days will remain forever.

This morning we took a short ride on Perugia's MiniMetro to the train station, where we'll catch our ride to Rome. We won't be spending any time in the Eternal City on this trip, we're just passing through on our way to the airport.

Next stop: Marseilles! I'll finally be back in a country where I can speak the language, even though some people I know don't believe my Quebecois French truly qualifies as la langue de Moliere.

On verra bien.Read more
