Cinque Terre

The Cinque Terre village of Vernazza ... Italy's Fiat-free riviera. Our home base was in the village of Monterosso, seen along the coast in the distance.

...a long time ago, far, far away in the wilds of Alaska...

I concocted an adventure to run some of the great marathons of Europe while on a walkabout designed to visit the great ruines in Italy, to see the wonders of Paris, and to hear the music of the great masters in Vienna. As I approach retirement from my Federal civil service career, I now know that the trip is becoming a reality. Many of my friends are encouraging me to keep this blog so they can track my planning and traveling adventures...that's a good thing! So, stay tuned for more odds-n-ends as I put things together.

Remember, train hard...run far!
