  1. Tonight we went down the road to Antica Moka, where a 75-year-old woman made us a fucking badass five course meal. Oh yeah, and then we got back to Casa Maria Luigia to find Massimo chilling outside in between Frascencana courses, so I got to chat with him for a few minutes. I never want to leave this place (I am leaving for Como tomorrow). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Some pics of Casa Maria Luigia - the highlight is the “playground” - Massimo’s collection of Ferraris and Ducatis (there are even more than the ones I posted below). This place is well worth splurging on! We have one more day here so will be taking advantage of the well-stocked kitchen and pool for most of the morning and afternoon.

  3. So this fucking ruled - I am staying at Massimo Bottura’s B&B in Modena and did their Osteria Francescana dinner tonight (photos of the property to come later) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Roberto knows how to make a fine meal in Bologna. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. It was hot as balls in Verona today and not particularly enjoyable to walk around, but we stumbled into a Michelin Star restaurant (Ponte Pietra) and had some good eats just before checking out Castelvecchio, so that part was fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I climbed the Asinelli Tower in Bologna to get a nice view of the city shortly before sunset tonight Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. So it looks like if the new federal legislation passes as is, Tesla, GM, Toyota, etc. would be eligible for buyer tax credits again (though I think Tesla will have to lower the cost on most of their vehicles to meet the price requirements in the framework) while cars that are built overseas will not be eligible. It will be interesting to see if/how it affects the EV market in America.
  8. Headed up there on Friday for 10 days! Bologna (with day trip to Verona) - Modena - Como.
  9. Yeah, I almost spit my drink out reading those parts. Unless they have been spending the summer with Steph Curry, this happening can't lead to good things.
  10. This is correct, at least for now.
  11. A solid 2.5/5…it passed the time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Did the Via Ferrata at Mt. Norquay today - basically mountain climbing for dummies with cables/carabiners. I would highly recommend it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Did the entire Icefields Parkway Drive (with the Gypsy app for the win) today and explored Jasper for a bit after. Spectacular! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Some trip highlights from the first couple days - great weather at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake today. It wasn’t super crowded, but I was thankful we took the Roam public transit from Banff to Lake Louise and connector shuttles to Moraine so we didn’t have to worry about parking. Canoeing line was short when it opened and there was no wait to eat at the Fairmont Lakeview Lounge. The last photo is what appeared as soon as i sat down for lunch at Sky Bistro (Banff Gondola restaurant that was surprisingly good) on Monday. I’m using the Gypsy app and doing the Icefields Parkway tomorrow, or at least as much as I can get done in a day trip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. After numerous flight cancellations or delays, finally made it to the Fairmont Banff Springs last night - not a bad view to wake up to today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. There was some (but not a ton) of north/south club, plenty in east/west reserved. No establishment club left, and maybe half of the loge boxes were taken.
  17. Definitely wasn't an option for me when I bought today, so don't think you missed anything.
  18. Wasn't Huggins the one whining about how many transfers we had last year?
  19. What's the deal with parking passes? Do you buy a pass at same time as tickets, and if so, what is the cost?
  20. I thought it was a phenomenal movie, and based on the audience applause it seemed like the rest of the theater did too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. 2023 5 star Elijah Fisher is reclassifying and will be going to Tech this upcoming season Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I'm heading to Banff in about three weeks - first time up there. Staying at the Fairmont Banff Springs. Thinking it is not going to suck. I'm doing the Via Ferrata at Mt. Norquay. Has anybody here done that/have a review?
  23. Yeah, well, you know, that’s just like, your opinion, man. I can’t say I was ever a particularly huge Eagles fan and hadn’t ever seen them live, but they were incredible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Saw the Eagles at Moody last night - holy shit, that was one of the best shows I have ever seen. They played from 8 until about 11:15 (with a short break between Hotel California and their other hits sets). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
