But I have to say that Lee and I thought the drivers in Italy must really be the best in the world. Going along the Amalfi Coast and then down to Sicily and back in a small car, we saw amost no wrecks at all. I wouldn't have wanted to drive fast in those places myself. (Lee did a great job, too, or we wouldn't be here to tell about it!) Great funny comments on "Work is Our Joy." And now, my Italian palm trees are going to be wet for the next seven months?tapirgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098235462073493603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821462867739969178.post-38872739768838765022009-09-16T16:59:46.040+02:002009-09-16T16:59:46.040+02:00Unbelieveble!!!good shot!Unbelieveble!!!good shot!Benikos placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01463010078672692728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6821462867739969178.post-81465976481398734512009-09-16T16:44:05.802+02:002009-09-16T16:44:05.802+02:00Scary way to change a tire, but yes, resourceful!!...Scary way to change a tire, but yes, resourceful!!!
