Last ride with Richard and Art together.

Really great ride today.  I pushed Art a little to go a bit farther up to Diacetto and everyone was happy with the decision.  We had excellent panini and Art had ravioli at a bar in Rufina that is my new favorite there.  The guys at the bar are super friendly, and the food and cafe is great.  I think the taste treat of the day would be the eggplant parmesan that Emily made for dinner.  I am so lucky to live with and love such an excellent cook.

Italian phrases - Melanzane parmesano (Eggplant Parmesan) and Buonissimo (really, really good)

Today was the last day with Richard, as he left on Friday morning early.  Another day with Art Friday and he leaves on Saturday.  Richard is a very close friend from CB, and it was great to have him here and ride together.

Ciao.
