Ginger In The Italian Water! [Vacation]

Speed had a great opportunity this summer, and he took it! Progress. He is friends with twin brothers who were going to Italy with their parents for two weeks. And they invited him and one other kid to go along.

They spent the vast majority of their time in the small village of Tignale on Lake Garda where there were plenty of Italian relatives close by. And they made a short trip to Nice and drove through Monaco–where Speed was impressed by the number of very high-end vehicles.

They ate lots pizza and gelato, played soccer at the non-gress field right next to their hotel, were regularly awoken by church bells, and generally had a great time roaming the countryside. His favorite things were canyoning and via ferrata–both of which were guided by a German man who had been to the States several times, but only to Bentonville, AR to visit Walmart HQ. Americana!
