Gallo Nero

This is a sign outside a wine store in San Gimignano, Tuscany, Italy. The black rooster label is one of the best in the Chianti region we were told. We did find a bottle when we were there and it was good.  

Why show this photo now?  It reflects our holiday over-indulgence...





I have been silent for most of the month, but I am starting up the blog again in anticipation or our next trip.  This one is to Vietnam.  We leave on Dec 31 and have a very long journey to get there.


There is a re-entry period after returning from a trip that lasts from a few days to a few weeks depending on where I have gone and how exotic the location.  A few weeks before a trip there is much to do to get ready--packing, stopping the mail, etc.  Plus the anticipation.   Not only did the re-entry from one trip and the preparation and anticipation for the next overlap and intersect, the holidays added their own demands.  It is all good and all encompassing.
