Looking for Audrey Hepburn
... another. Clearly they were practicing the world’s oldest profession and I’m not talking bread baking. 3) We stopped for lunch in a small town and wandered into the first open restaurant we found. The owner of the restaurant was a motorcyclist and proudly showed us his moto: A 17-year-old Suzuki Virago in mint condition. He showed us the lights he had added and all of the chrome plated fixens, beaming with pride. ...
