Tuscany

Well drat.

I was going to post pictures from our cruise since I never finished four years ago. Now I know why. They're not on this computer. They're on the hard drive for the Mac.

The hard drive which is collecting dust because we never replaced it after giving our Mac to my parents so they could join the twenty-first century.

I have all the photos printed and in an album. And in a scrapbook. They're available in my Walgreens online account.

Four years ago we were in Tuscany. Enjoying good food and good wine.

The best story from that day was while Jenny and I were using the restrooms Bill and John had a little adventure.

They had been discussing taking wine with us on the long bus ride back to the ship. Together, they went over to Diego the bus driver and asked him if we were "allowed" to drink on the bus. Diego said sure so John said, "You go find some cups, I'll get the wine" and they broke off.

When they came back together a few moments later (Jenny and I were still waiting in line and had no idea what was going on), Diego called them over to the bus. The way he was standing suggested he was trying to hide something. John and Bill carefully approached him (this was Italy after all).

Diego was wiping out wine glasses with paper towels. He had swiped them from the vineyard because he didn't want us drinking wine out of plastic cups!!

There is a photo of the four of us holding our "hot" wine glasses with Diego and Simona (our guide) when we got back to the ship.

Of course we tried to bring the glasses back to the U.S. with us, but only one made it. Our suitcases were a little stuffed by the end of the trip. And knowing how gentle the people are who handle the luggage, it's really no surprise that three of them were broken.
