Today

Today, Saturday.. I left J and B and headed north to the Appennines ( sp!). On the way I stopped to see my good friends O and A. O and I talk about music, Italy, relations between men and women. He is one of my favorite people...and I love his wife A.
Had I been able to stick around, there was a canasta tournament. That would have been fun.
Then I just meandered north in the fog, in the rain, ...in the gloom.
I drove north between Barga and Aulla.
See map. Barga is about 30K north of Lucca.  My friend O lives in Castelnuovo di Garafagnana.
