Laundry day...


Laundry day in San Gig.  Since we have been on tour for eight days, it is time to launder our seven-day wardrobe. Our house features two laundry areas….one indoors (kitchen) and one outdoors……with a nifty drying rack.  If you are going to hang your clothes outdoors, it may as well be overlooking an 1,800 year old city !!  Echo longs for the stacked facilities of home.




Internet access is a little tricky here.  The early Etruscans ran very little Cat-6 wire and installed very few wireless Hot-Spots.  We drive around in our mini-diesel until we find a connection, then park  the car and use it as our mobile office.  If you don’t hear from us for awhile, it is not because we are not thinking of you, we are searching for a connection.  We love sharing this with you and love the contact from home.  We wish all of you were here to share this delicious country with us, but we would want you to do your own laundry !!

Here is our house cat.  We haven’t determined it’s gender, but is very sweet.  We call it Gellato.


After chores, we headed off to Pisa.  Boy those folks built a lot of really cool stuff....too bad the tower leaned.  We didn't take the tour to the top.....looked like it might fall over !!





Up early tomorrow.....drive to Florence for Ducati tour.  Brenda arrives Tuesday to hang out with us for a few days.  Talk to you later.....

  1. If I had known, I could have come along to do laundry. The pictures are fantastic. It is so hard to imagine as I sit here looking at a cornfield. Love you, Shirley

  4. Love the kitty and pictures of Echo. I am glad you are having a great time. I love the pace of Europe. Strolls through charming towns and coffee at an outdoor cafe (or beer) all afternoon. Ahhhhhhhh!
