The Roads to Ruins
There are so many places in the world to go see. It’s always nice to see places in Italy, since every evening is likely to have great Italian food. And it’s especially nice to take a break from the empty space where our kitchen used to be.
This time we’re going to see Tunisia, home of many Carthaginian Roman ruins and the major inspiration for lots of the landscape in Star Wars. We’ll be going to the real Tatouine. There’s a silly annular eclipse near there, which I suppose is why we’re going there now. Then we’ll stop on Malta, and spend way too little time on Sicily, at Pompeii, and on Sardinia. We’ll finally see the tower in Pisa, and then hit the Italian autobahns, zooming to the Istrian peninsula currently owned by Croatia and represented in San Francisco by Albona Ristorante Istriano. A few days there, a few days in Venice, and it’ll be time for me to come home and go back to work. Ray will visit friends in Romania and go back to work on the kitchen a couple weeks later.
