Thanks Lesley. Yeah I wish you two lived closer, ha. Sometimes I drive by the Hard Knox Brewery and think of our brew meetup. Hopefully you’ll come back to Waterton or the Banff/Louise area again. See us & more critters too.
I am worried about the knee surgery … but I’ll post something about it before it comes at the end of Nov. Ugh. I’m hoping it goes smoothly. Darn. chat soon. Cheers.

Sounds like great rides. Doable, but long! Bummer about you needing to have knee surgery, though. These bodies weren’t meant to last forever, were they? With all the cycling you do, your recovery should be pretty good, though. Strong quad muscles are important.

Give your hubby our best. Maybe we can meet up in Canada again next year!

Thanks Lesley for your note! Luckily you don’t go on airplanes much so it’s good you haven’t gotten Covid eek. We thought we were immune, grrr. I want to say our bike mileage was anywhere from 35 to 55 miles per day. And they had us go over a hill/mountain range tree times so there were some uphills. My husband & I used regular road bikes all week except the last afternoon when I tried out the ebike and it was like a major difference! Oh my. It’s pretty easy. I was very pleased to complete the bike routes for the week since I’m due to have knee surgery soon. We had biked quite a bit during the summer so that helped.
I should post more Italy photos! You are better at making photo gallery collages.
Thx for telling me about the movie for All the Light We Cannot See. I think I’d forgotten. I still recall the blind girl from the book and some scenes at the end. I hope it will be good. Glad you are back home & hope you are enjoying the Cove. I need to jumpstart my reading too. We’ll see. Enjoy your homecoming.

Thanks Lark. All is well now. About 2 weeks after our trip. The trip indeed was memorable and I learned about new places in Italy we hadn’t been before. I’ll likely post more photos next time. Cheers!

I can’t believe we’re in the second half of October. Every time we go on these RV trips, we come back and I feel like time should have stood still while we were away. It’s going to be the holiday season before we know it. Eeek!

I didn’t read much while we were gone, either. Didn’t listen to a single audiobook the entire time, and only finished one book and started another. Too much time spent having fun. 🙂

I haven’t read anything by Alice McDermott, but Absolution sounds interesting.

I’m ready to watch Lessons in Chemistry, but I doubt my husband has any interest, so I’ll watch on my own. I’m more eager to see the second season of Bosch: Legacy. I didn’t love the first season as much as the original series, but I love the cast and hope this second season is better. Glad to see Jerry is back, but too bad the Lt. Billets isn’t. We’ll watch Killers of the Flower Moon at home, and I’m hoping we can just watch half one night and the other half later. 3.5 hours is TOO long! I’m also excited about All the Light We Cannot See, which I think comes out in early December. I’ll probably watch the final season of The Crown, as well. And the second season of Anika should be out by now. I’ve lost track. Oh, and Unforgotten! Should be a nice winter for viewing all of these shows. 🙂

I would love to see more photos of your trip. Perhaps a photo essay post? 🙂 How many miles a day did you ride? Were there a lot of hills? I can’t remember if you mentioned if you were using ebikes. That sure seems that way to go these days.

Take good care! I’m already missing Canada. 🙁

Thanks LF: I agree Covid is really re-surging now among people who are traveling, ugh. It’s not fun. Luckily we finished the trip before it set in. Still I have no interest in traveling again anytime soon. But your trip should be a short ways and I’m hoping with no problems.
Bosch Legacy 2 might be just the thing for late fall, LoL. It looks pretty action packed. Glad you’re enjoying it. take care. & Happy October.

I am so glad you had a nice trip! I would love to visit Italy someday.

My husband and I are almost done with season 1 of Bosch: Legacy and are looking forward to the second season.

I hope you have a great week, Susan.

Hi Joy, yeah jet lag and covid are no fun. Luckily after almost two weeks I feel back to my normal self. I’ll eventually get the new vaccine once it becomes available here. I’m not sure if there will be a charge like you encountered.
Glad to hear your thoughts on Killers of the Flower Moon. I hope the movie does address that criticism. It would be good to break up the movie into 2 nights so we might watch it on streaming as well. Have a great week.
