Tour of the countryside

Took a private tour of the countryside with 3 other couples in a 9 passenger van/truck. It was driven by Vivian who was getting paid by the mile, not the hour. If you were in the front seat you could hear what she was saying. If you were in the middle seats you could see her jaw move. If you were in the back seats you were just hanging on and watching stuff fly by out the side windows. Pam & I bet that Sue would have lasted 3 miles before chunks would be flying! We suggested, demanded, she stop at a villiage she drove into and we sampled some wine and settled our stomachs. Then off to the wine tasting room/cellar that was interesting.

Wine bottle window.

We were the only ones there and it was about 4:30. Lead-foot Vivian is on the right. At least she didn't imbibe!


So we head out tomorrow, Thursday. We leave the hotel at 4:45 am. That should be fun.
A final dinner tonight. It has been a good group. Mostly more seasoned folks and only a couple of 'hot shots' (in their opinion). Looking forward to getting back home care of Johnny Roches!
