Running update - Last week, after the Canino race, I started the training for the “3 Municipalities Race” on the distance of 22.4 km (13.9 m) which will take place on January 28th. It is called the 3 Municipalities because the route includes 3 towns: Nepi, Civitacastellana and Castel S.Elia. The route is challenging for the reason that each town is located on a hill. The swag includes a very appreciated artistic local ceramic plate (see photo from the 2006 race):

That part of Tuscia is famous for the ceramic works.
DeleteMerry Christmas to you and family.
Ship union looks so classic!
ReplyDeleteAnd the crew is very friendly.
DeleteSo glad you've been able to run every other day. Keep up the good work. Your grandson is so cute on the ship, the tree is beautiful and oh the sunset!! AND the swag looks pretty awesome. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It's possible to train regularly because here winter is not brutal. Merry Christmas to you and family.
DeleteBeautiful photos and skies. Good luck with your running and all the best for Christmas and 2024,
ReplyDeleteIf your wife does not like flying how about a cruise to Cape Town ? We do not like cruising but friends have been to CT twice now.
Thank you.
DeleteWe have been many times on a cruise ship but at the moment there is not here a line to SA.
Belated Happy Christmas and all the best for 2034. Cheers Diane
DeleteBeautiful photos, Stefano!
ReplyDeleteYour grandson is adorable!
Wishing you the best with your running, and sending you all my good wishes for Christmas and the upcoming year of 2024!
Thank you. Merry Christmas and happy new year.
DeleteThat's a fantastic swag! What's in the white package? Panettone?
ReplyDeleteI support what Diane said above about Cape Town. It's well worth a visit! It would be lovely to see you here sometime.
In the white package there were local treats.
DeleteUnfortunately in this port there is not a cruise line to SA.
However if you and your husband come to Rome .... ring the bell!
Those are such pretty pictures of your city! I wonder does your Grandson want to be a sailor like you were? That's great training you are doing for your race on January 28th.
ReplyDeleteI have a question for you, can you tell me what this means in english, "A Pere Na"? My sister was in Naples in September and bought the pieces for a nativity scene from an older gentleman in a small family run store where he made the pieces. Each piece has A Pere Na stamped on the bottom. We have not been able to find a translation for that and I thought maybe you might know what it means!
Merry Christmas!
I would like but all my grandsons don't think to become sailors like me and my grandfather.
DeleteAbout "A Pere Na" I didn't find anything about it but I think that A Pere are the first name (A) and the family name (Pere) of the artisan and Na = Napoli.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Good luck with the upcoming race.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.
DeleteLove that race swag!! I'd run it just for that, lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christmas tree. You live in such a pretty place!
Many runners enter the races in those towns for the swag. In 1992 I was 20th over all and I won a whole set of porcelain.
DeleteFeliz Navidad para ti y los tuyos.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours.
