The best part of this trip is definitely the people we are with. They are creative fun teachers and you can tell their students adore them. Most are a lot younger than us, but want to know about our marriage, (Really?! 44 years?!) or about trips we’ve been on and they are thinking of doing, or about our children. I believe people share more deeply and ask frank questions because we feel a connection and we aren’t part of their “real” world. The thirty-somethings especially connect with Jim over work angst issues, how to figure out what they want in life, and ADHD. He looks (and IS!) wise and approachable.
We had a guided tour of the city this morning. I particularly liked the colorful indoor market.
Then we visited two different wineries. We had lots of wine, lots of hors d’oeuvres, and a nice lunch. Did I say a lot of wine? I wanted to taste it, but I cannot drink six glasses even over several hours. 🥴
An hour after we got back to the hotel we left for dinner. I might not ever be hungry again.
