Couldn't hurt! I like the word "scuttle". It is exactly right for this context.

Quite the pickup line. Wow! I did make it to Italy, and Naples, when I was in Europe. It was beautiful, especially the northern coast near France. Thanks for the reminder!

Well, yes... I am not one to bury the lead, James. Hahahah. Ah... the Ligurian coast. Beautiful territory. Naples, on the other hand, quite a different story...

What a fun adventure! What is it about looking into the side of the mountain for comfort when the abyss is still just 2 feet away on the other side!

Yes...hmmm. I think it is called "denial"? hahaha

You have a rare talent for this type of descriptive travelogue that makes the reader feel like they are experiencing the adventure with you. I think Italy should be next on my bucket list. Thank you Sharron.

He's back! I hope that journey was everything you hoped for and you have collected some fine memories. Will you write about it? I would love to know your impressions of that lovely green country.

Yes, it was beyond expectations and if you hear that they are running low on Guinness, it is a mere coincidence. We took some great pictures and had an interesting experience looking for the graves of my ancestors, which I will surely write about soon.

I love the camaraderie with Greta. Pretty cool to have a traveling companion who doesn’t speak the same language! Also...your response to that jerk was hilarious. 🤣 I can picture him retreating so vividly.

It is the only time I have used the word "scuttle", but that is exactly what he did. As for Greta, she was so terrified by the cliff ride, she grabbed on to me ( a complete stranger) and wouldn't let go. A really memorable journey, that one.
