There's a place outside of Rimini called the Museo Nazionale Del Motociclo that we went to a few weeks ago. It was started by 3 guys that just put their collections together. Imagine Bob's collection only older and much bigger. Quite a few machines that still have the leather drive chains! Amazing machines. Most of the bikes still have the original dirt and grease on them, and at least one of the Hondas was labeled with the wrong year, but it's still a must see.
Sadly, our year here is coming to an end. We've learned lots of Italian and we've made many wonderful friends. We did just what we came to do, but not too surprisingly, it's not easy to leave our lives here in Monterenzio- we all feel a little torn between two happy homes. It's time to come home-home nonetheless. We arrive in Minneapolis just before July. Thanks to all of our family and friends for your moral support during this adventure year. We look forward to seeing you soon and catching up. baci, Tina Gibbs Maddy Gus
