Well…went out to a Thai restaurant that my daughter an SIL go to all the time and it was really good…spicy and the pad Thai I got was just a huge plate that I couldn’t eat all of…we’ll take a tour of the University of Virginia tomorrow so we can the old part of it that Jefferson designed and that should be cool…then on the plane around 3:30 and we’ll get in to Venice at 8am local time and that means about 8 1/2 hours for the flight…and that’s a long one…but I am going to nap at least for part of it…we have nothing planned for the first day since we’ll need that to adjust our time…there will be lots of espresso for me when we get there and we’ll be eating lots of good Italian food…going to be fat when we get back but that’s okay…that’s what riding the bike is for and I’ll start the new streak the day I get back…or it may wait til the day after like I did last time…will probably need some time to adjust and that would be perfect for a Sunday…it looks like my daughter is paying for the trip so that means I can spend money on a new range and getting air conditioning put in my house along with new tires for the car…and that is cool…time to read and then sleep…
