With
Le Duc safely stored at Prato Smeraldo, Giovanni drove us to Villa Rosita in Fiumicino, thus positioned for an early flight from Rome to Munich. November 14th was not one of our best flying days, however. Thick, all-day fog at Munich caused us to miss our connection both there and at O'Hare, and we wound up spending the night at a 2 star motel in Chicago before proceeding on to Knoxille the next morning. But the flight over northern Italy and the Alps was pretty neat...

| Leaving Rome an hour late |
 |
| Arno? |
 |
| Venice lagoon? |
 |
| Dolomites? |
 |
| Now over the bigger Alps, proper |
 |
| Straining to see Hohenschwangau or Neuschwanstein... |
 |
| About to dive into the fog bank; note plane's shadow |
 |
| On the ground, but late for our connection |
 |
Another late departure, chasing the sunset across Europe and
then the Atlantic |
 |
At length we made it to Chicago and then the next day, tired
puppies, to Knoxville and some rest |

You know, you have friends in Chicago...maybe a little better than a 2 star, too!
