Parma -- trust the TomTom

Monday - we did get a bit of a late start as we had to get 75% of our luggage from the airport. We took the five hour drive through France/Italy/Mont Blanc tunnel to get to Parma. We did get stopped at the Italian border for papers for about 1/2 hour, but didn't even get our passports stamped.

Our TomTom passed the test. It took us through some sketchy areas directly to the hotel. Marriage saved.

Dinner was wonderful. Appetizer of Parma Ham and Parmesan cheese. Nicole had breat of pheasant with a juniper berry gravy. I had sweet local sausage with potatos. She had a parfait for dessert. I had an egg nog custard that Rocked.

Not a bad start. Nicole has agreed to stay.

Thanks for letting me know not to get a TOMTOM because it will take me to the shady parts of some foreign town for what else, sausage!
