Adam and Natalie were staying with their friend Joe in Barbaresco, and they offered to let us use their shower to freshen up after our travel. Barbaresco is beautiful! In addition to a hot shower, the house also had commanding views of the Barbaresco countryside. I’m told these views are protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which makes it difficult/impossible to build anything that would spoil the view.
After an 8 hour layover in Boston, then an overnight flight, Heather an I arrived in Milan. We rented a car, almost misplaced my iPhone 😱, then took the 2 hour drive to Barbaresco where we were meeting our friends Adam and Natalie.
Had lunch at Boston Logan where we saw a prep cook shucking oysters. But the knife had a cord! Maybe an electric shucking knife? I asked my server and he explained that it wasn’t electric, but rather a security cable that tethered the knife to the station. They have periodic security audits, and if a knife is missing they shut down the airport! #Italy2025
Lesson learned: Moving sofas and furniture is a lot harder when you’re 50 than it was when you were 25. Ouch!

Had to do a little #diy for the buoy ballast. Five pounds of chain (plus other hardware) kept the buoys upright in testing. Now we’ll see if it works in production. Fingers crossed.
