Oh, it’s you! I remembered someone had a personal connection with Acqui Terme but had forgotten who or what. We’ve already booked a room in town, but we’ll see if we can make it up that way on the way in or on a day ride.

Dashing down stairs again?

So, maybe not Elvis then. Hard to imagine Ms. Brown would misinform me, but it’s possible.

Elvis seems very plausible.
Yet, it could also be a quote from psalm 111:
"cornu eius exaltab[i]tur in gloria"; his horn shall be exalted in glory.
Given the fact it's a psalm, we could of course assume it is God whose horn is mentioned here, but who knows? It could also very well be an allusion to a great New World artist made by a biblical time traveler. That's all right.

It’s supposed to clear up in a day or two up there, hopefully. I’ll bet it will look fantastic for your ride north. I was amazed looking north from the train yesterday to see all the snow up north.

Actually am wishing I was heading south to meet up with you! It is chilly and damp in Bolzano and there is snow on the mountains

Thanks, Susan. Sorry we’ll miss the chance to hook up on your way back north, but we’re very enthusiastic about this new plan.

Scott and Rachael
You two are war horses - of course you need a day off every month or so! Sounds like a great change in plans, one i'm certain you'll enjoy. As will we following along. BTW - great jersey Rachael!
Susan

Yes, thank you for that. I’m sure that’s exactly right.

I wondered if folks would recognize that. I was tempted to include that video also.

"A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle" - a feminist slogan coined in 1970 by Irina Dunn and popularized by Gloria Steinem

Thank you for reminding me of that lovely song.

This roughly translates to "Elvis is in the house". You're welcome.

It's just one charming vignette after another.

Hi again,
I just checked Guido’s website and it seems he’s upgraded his place to a three star hotel. Still recommended.
Cheers,
Keith
