My guess is somewhere in Northern Italy. Lots of beautiful, high-end lake places up that way. Lots of MTB-ing as well. Did some road riding in the Northwest back in '95 and more than a weeks' worth in the Northeast (stayed in Bassano del Grappa) in 2013. If so, I am jealous.

Last year's trip

Could just be sheer envy, but it seems that humanity turns farther away from being happy for someone and nearer to "if I cannot do it, then no one should".

There's a story of the first privatization of collectives after the fall of the Soviet wall. One farmer was asked what he wanted and he asked, "I wish that I may keep my cow, then I could use the milk." His neighbor was next asked, and he said, "I wish my neighbor's cow should die."

I think it also resonates a bit differently here where the numbers are not dropping, but are actually getting worse again.
I don't want to travel in the US this summer because I'm not sure I won't get stuck somewhere in a lockdown.

I have no idea what that means. I just know that it's very possible to get stranded in places when transportation systems get shut down, and that can happen in a hurry.
