Published: July 28th 2013

My great friend Tim beat the odds and made it to 40 years, having lived in 7 countries on four continents, had 28 girlfriends from 30 countries, one ex-wife, and no kids that he admits to. To celebrate this (or these) amazing feat(s), he hosted about 20 friends and relatives at Villa Piancianinear Spoleto, Italy. Awesome. The first four and a half days of the party were really, really boring. I ... Read Full Entry

Walls

Not only are the walls kept in the same style of when they were built a couple of hundred years ago, but the electrical work is also kept at the same state it was when it was installed about 100 years ago.

Tim and the castle

Of course there's a castle here. There's no doubt a great history behind it as well. There's also a bar opposite, which Tim is itching to relocate into.

Steps at Montefalco

The other boys had already found the bar, making this photo much better.

The sarong man

It was a hot day, so we relocated to the pool and winebar. With Tim and Olivier Tim's mother had been quoted saying, "Never trust a man in a sarong." Meagan and Olivier (pictured) couldn't resist the temptation of giving Tim a sarong.

An unusual picture

This was an amazing coincidence. Here's Jens, Phil, and Tim together -- all WITHOUT glasses in their hands. The only time it happened in several days.

Tony and Val

These two managed to get their landlegs, having not stepped of their boat for more than 5 minutes of the past 20 years. Heck, they were more stable on solid ground than the rest of us at the end of the party.

Notice the body language here? Everyone genuinely liked everyone else (from what saw, apart from the dog when Luke was singing). A good reflection on how well Tim has chosen his friends and family.
