Hello Again
Hey there, writing you again from Mexico, keep up the great coverage of your travels, I love it! When I read the part about the beekeepers, it reminded me of when I lived in New Zealand and worked on an organic farm with a beekeeper who made pure manuka honey. People literally travel from other parts of the world to buy these $80 jars of honey. And it is pretty amazing, although I'm not much of a honey enthusiast haha. I remember a guy from Japan who dropped about $500 on manuka honey because you can only find it in NZ. Manuka trees are native to NZ and only grow there. I plan to upload some entries soon, if you get a chance, check them out :) https://www.travelblog.org/Bloggers/TheHighLife/

Armenia
I've always been curious about visiting Armenia. After reading your blog I really hope to visit someday. Thank you for such an informative blog. I feel like I've been educated from your travel experiences :)

Armenia
Armenia is worth a visit. I hope you'll add it to your list. It has a sad history. Yerevan is a nice city.

Watching you watching me
I love this blog - we will just look at cows while the tyres fixed, the binoculars meeting binoculars, only an hour and a half to get processed! I smiled the whole way through this blog. Brilliant

Thanks Cindy for reading and commenting. We enjoyed the trip so much! You should consider doing it in the next couple of years.

There's no such thing! All the food here looks amazing. Love the sound of Armenia and those small caucasus nations. I love the former Soviet Union nations and their turbulent past... Keep these blogs coming.

Armenia is moving up on the food scene. These...well ... just amazing. Yes these nations come from a turbulent past. The Armenians were nearly wiped out. Sad times. Thanks again for commenting.

Food extreme
It's seems as if your reference in your last blog about Tajikistan not being a destination for foodies has been juxtaposed by this blog... I am salivating as I write these comments... What choice do I have at this exact moment? Hmmm another coffee perhaps? A cookie? That lasagne looks amazing.

These countries are the ying and yang of food. That was one of the considerations when deciding where to go after the road less traveled. Northern Italy is lovely. The lasagna was truly the best either of us have had in a lifetime. Worth the trip to Bologna. Thanks for continuing to read and comment.

Potholes
Love it! Great account of a great journey. There is something truly human about your blog - the sleeping on the floor in the care of local hospitality with simple foods. I always find that the more potholes a road has the more friendly the folks are at the end of it. Great catching up with your adventures after a month of no internet... A great way to spend my time at Nuuk airport, Greenland.

Potholes
You are very philosophical today.... I've never thought of the link between potholes and friendliness. Will have to consider that but on first glance I believe you are correct. MJ

Bologna Collanade

A project for the future
It would actually be fun to there and make a thematic blog with only porticoes. Well, won't happen in the next five years at least. Have too many other projects going on. /Ake

Oh Italia
My poor heart and stomach. They both yearn to return to Italy and your blog hasn't made things any easier :) I love the sound of the Emilia-Romagna region, even if only for that Parma farm and cooking class experience - it sounds like so much fun. What amazing food experiences you keep having! And with regards to all those times you were so happy to go home and take your pants off...surely, that's begging for a joke about 'happy ending'? ;)

Oh Italia
Oh Ren... this is your kind of place. Hopefully you will get back there sooner than later. We wish we'd stayed longer in La Morra even though it is a small, small village. Parma was wonderful and I hope you'll get to the farm for the cooking class. We knew jokes would come about needing to take our pants off... it is not good being that full but who can say no to those wonderful platters of food. Thanks for your comments.
