Oooh Tuscany on a vespa sounds wonderful.

Miss you two, but I am so glad things are working out for you in Germany. All those new roads to explore on two wheels .........

I wonder, Roland wishes for a ride in Tuscany, and ten months later he gets his wish granted and I get to ride in Tuscany with him and Sonja. I wonder what else Roland is wishing for?
