| What an amazing visit with my friend / colleague and her husband I have a little bit of post traumatic guest disorder from having guests come for too long and be clunkers so I hesitate to invite people, but this couple really gave me faith in guests again. We love them Enjoying the view and some (more) wine tasting after stopping in Alba for cheese and wine La Morra, Italy 28 July 2017 Looking forward: Zaven is off to America this week to visit Avalon Joe and I head up to Germany to hand the keys to our new tenants Joe planned our Dolomite Trek 31st of August to America -meeting Av in NY (yahoo!) then on to Tahoe Geneva Grenoble Oslo Barcelona Singapore Zaven has decided to come home to study Design at a university in Milan.
