Italy - Day 7 what could have been

The weather was perfect the whole time we were there. It did not rain until our last night and it was the most melodic rain I have ever heard. We woke up the beautiful cloud on the mountains.

This is Mayo. No, really.

Ausfahrt is german for exit. If you want the story just ask.

Tim decided to fill our diesel engine with unleaded gas. It drove fine for about 20 minuted and the cut off. Fortunately we were near the SOS box. Unfortunately it stalled out on top of a 400-500 foot bridge. Over there when they tow a car they leave you in it on the flatbed truck. So here I am in a car that should run and I am able to see completely over the guardrail all the way to the valley below. Then the driver of the truck was going pretty fast through all this little towns on curvey roads. It was crazy. In his defense the diesel pumps are black and the unleaded are green there but they still say Diesel!

All the sports fans can appreciate that he was going through sports withdrawal.
