Igor ... hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, yes you dirtbag , it's a public service you provide. Say hello to my little friend Mr. Kryptonite, now give me my bike back. I heard the same lines as to how he played both sides of the "fence" in order to help the police sort out high end bike thievery, and they would turn the other eye to the cheaper stuff. Well, let's hope wonky justifications aside that this gets him outta bidness. The new Chorus draped Bianchi 928 Carbon, is shall we say quite a piece of bike at 3000 Euros. :drool: Right around the corner from the apartment we are renting. If anyone is thinking of Rome as a destination hit me up when I get back. 350 Euros for 10 days. Sleeps 6, full apt in a non-tourist neighbourhood. That would basicaly work out to 12 buckos a day for each person.

The weather has been great, not too hot thus far, unlike the suffering that Stuart was doing in the heat wave. Thanks for the coffee tips, found a bodum(sp?) hiding this morning....SUCCESS!!! ah coffee.

Trevi fountain yesterday was really impressive, but guys ...100 years to build? I mean fer reals? An amazing piece of work. Later guys.
