After I left Augsburg I drove down to Vicenza, my old home, excited to meet good friends from Portland, Oregon Judy and Harlan Bridenbaugh at my good friends B&B/Restaurant where we would be joined by Concetta and Paul who I saw recently in Chiang Mai. They live in Merano near Bolzano. The weather remains rainy and cold but the drive down was nice enough. I didn't take the autostrada until after I reached Vipiteno and then didn't stay on it too long as decided to drive over the lovely Valsugana region. We had a great get together. Lovely food and wine, visits to the market downtown, to Rigetti's old favourite restaurant, to Gelaterias, drives in the Colli Berici. A good visit to Bassana del Grappa and long chats. The Gobbo family in Da Berno couldn't have been nicer and the B&B is tiny in a lovely old restored house and comfortable. A great week.
