Italy Break in Football Season

October 26, 2019 Leave a comment

My lovely and talented (and did I mention “lovely?”) wife and I took a little midseason break to vacation in Italy. It was our first big vacation in years. We were going to go to Paris for our 25th, and that fell through. So we went to Italy for our 31st wedding anniversary. We flew into Rome, spend a couple or three days. Trained to Orvieto. Spent a day. We then took a train to Florence. Three days in Florence. Trained to Venice. We were in Venice for three days. Then we flew home.

Here’s a nice shot of Venice at sunset.

Our last night in Venice, we had a nice table at a cafe. I took this shot.

Hawks Ready to Roll, and Ohio State Hosts Sparty Later

The Hawkeyes travel to that state up north to take on the Big Yellow Weasels in Ann Arbor. The Harbots are feeling good about themselves because they beat down Rutgers last weekend. The ichigan fans are all up ready for the dynasty to begin. Any day now. Any day.

Later the No. 4 Buckeyes host the Michigan State Spartans. Spartans are now ranked 25, getting ranked after beating Northwestern and Indiana back to back. This was following a loss to Arizona State. Sparty is 4-1. Ohio State is just chugging along.
