Woke extremely early today. Tried to force more sleep but that was not to be. So I turned my self inward and started to analyze my approach to the trip vs. Bill's approach to the trip. It all came down to brain types. When we hike, vist landmarks etc. I tend to focus my attention on flora and fauna, people and the languages they speak, local food products and o.k. shopping. Bill on the other hand is all about how something works. Tractors, unusual mechanical objects and well just about anything that requires assembly. Today we were walking around in a little town in Chianti and we both nearly peed in our pants when we saw a book titled "How Everything Works". Walking around with a brainiac at times can be challenging and intimidating but if it were not for his brain type I would not be writing this blog. Thank you Bill. I love you more.
Visited a church today and light candles for both our parents. In Vernazza also lit a candle in an outdoor sanctuary. Have seen likenesses of Mom many times during this trip. So many times I have wished I could tell her how amazing Italy really is.
Lunch in Greve was quite interesting. Yes I had another bowl of bean soup but what we observed was definitely a Saturday Night Live kind of moment. Let me explain. There is a statue in the main piazza with a headless male with a very large penis. Many people take pictures including me. Well while eating lunch we observed a female tourist have her picture taken giving the statue's penis a hand job followed by a family of 6 which included 4 children ages 8 and under line up for a family photo. Hopefully it wasn't their Christmas card photo!
