Just a quick note here about our excellent traveling partner, Scott.
It’s been great to have him along (would’ve loved to have Ben with us too, but it was just not possible). Scott has put up with us (and by “us” I mean me, Bunny) for two and a half weeks with endless good humor. He made us laugh (often) and ponder big and little questions (almost as often).
A couple of his bons mots:
As the navigator for Marty’s driving: (you have to know here that roundabouts are everywhere): “Dad, you take the whirly-q up here. Don’t forget it’s a whirly-q, not a loop-de-loop.”
As novice tour guide: “All roads lead to Rome. And all roads in Rome lead to the gift shop.”
I think you get the picture. Or not? Maybe you had to be there!
In any event, THANK YOU, SCOTT for making this trip more fun!
Okay good morning from Portland
I love this entry I can totally see Marty in the driver seat Scott in the passenger seat big map in front of him saying go this way dad and Bunny sitting in the backseat going oh my gosh what I got myself into
Hey Steve! This is Bunny. You do have a pretty good idea of what we looked like as we traveled around! The Italians drive like madmen and the roads are narrow and curvy. I was white knuckling it most of the time! See you – and janene and Wade – soon!
