Archer

I might have been a bit negative about Itlay and its political and judicial system yesterday, but there is a lot to like about the country and its people.

Here is a photo of an archer at a medieval archery competition held in the Tuscan hill town of Castiglion Fiorentino, just over a month ago. In such places people are very close to their traditions, which in this small world of internet, media moguls and satellite television, is just wonderful.

In the meantime, Henk and I spent the day enjoying life on the beach in Zandvoort, while I await receipt of an employment contract, hoping that nothing goes wrond at this late stage.
