Yesterday, now, the tourney to Italy, dbo the Alps,

past the Brenner Pass.

The family awakens later, all the showers done me

over with. Turmoil as the items for the journey are

last-minute eheohxed, some things are not to be found.

At last, much later, the road to Rosenheim, the motorway

over the Alps.

The day ends after a five hour stoppage, a traffic

mess, and an endless journey across the Appewwes,

mmrseuh roads with hairpin hands, and a bout of

illness, disorientation, tiredness and sickness.

over the gas, there is no kettle.

Look out into a medieval village, high in the hills,

all the hills soft agrd green 1 covered in chestnut trees

and others. The village was fohhfcid then, eight

hundred years ago, and later. Now it is just a light

collection of houses, one on top of the next,

The coffee, htach bitter and instant.

Just rest, with the family awakens. This is a day for

recovery.
