Fw: August 14th Tuesday




We are full here at the B+B so I am moving my stuff to Robby's apartment here at the Palazzo.  I have not seen the
apartment yet but I'm sure it will be quite comfortable since Carla stayed there at the time of the wedding and her
standards are so high, I can't imagine it to be nothing but immaculate and comfortable.
Yesterday I took Robby's mountain bike out and rode to Tortorella, all up hill but with the 27 speed bike, I found
the ride to be very easy and very pleasurable in the cool air of the late afternoon.  I wish I had brought my bicycle
shorts I'd be able to go for a real long ride and not feel uncomfortable from the seat.  But I think I'll take a ride to
Fortino, another mountain village I have not visited yet.  Lagonegro from there would be an easy ride.  And that
is another town not yet visited.  Lagonegro looks to be much bigger on the map so would be interesting to go to.
OK scratch that.  Miriam just said that Lagonegro is as negative as the name sounds so I will change direction and
go to Caselle in Pittari by way of Casaletto. I just have to figure out what day I can leave.  I don't usually go to bed
until at least 10 p.m. after all the cleanup of the kitchen is done.  So I figure I am busy every day for about 16 hours.
It goes by fast and I don't mind doing all that I do but I do like having a day off to go somewhere new.  And now I
know I can take the bicycle, I can plan a few new trips.  
I just brought my stuff down to Robby's apartment-nery small but very cute  All stone and tile.  And to get to it I
have to go down the stone spiral staircase past the big fountain in the center of the inside of the Palazzo.  Very
beautiful.  So my last 3 weeks here will be a bit away from all the people and I'm all for that.
Sophia has finally said I'm ok by her.  On my last trip to Safri I bought her a pair of plastic sandals that she absolutely
loves.  Fluorescent green with a butterfly on each.  Best 2 euro I could ever spend.
