Grappa
2 weeks ago we visited to Bassano del Grappa, which is a beautiful city in northern Italy, where they make Grappa. It is a small town and they have a grappa museum. It was good to see, because I did not know how grappa is made. In earlier days it was the poor man's drink, because it is made from grape pomace, meaning the skins and seeds.

... headed to our last “bus” ride.
As we walked, (at a decidedly slower than normal pace), we discussed what we liked about the city. Certainly the architecture is different than our “normal”, yet there was more to it. I think we agreed that it was the pace. This would probably be a great place to live if you were a bit older, say later 50's (and in good health). You walk everywhere, there are no cars, boats are decidedly a calmer mode of ...
