Friday was arrival day for guests on our Cilento Coast trip. All but two are repeats; many of them have done more than four tours with us—so that was like having friends come to visit. We set everyone up on their bikes just outside the meeting room (the photo shows a smiling Antonio and his bike "Galetti" posing with Lorenzo) where a conference on laparoscopic surgery was going on. Several of the surgeons seemed more interested in our bikes than in their conference; we heard all kinds of stories about their bike racing glory days. In Italy, it seems like everyone is or was a cyclist. Now we’re ready to pop the cork on the official welcome spumante. We head south for the Cilento Coast trip tomorrow morning.
