On July 24 and 25, 2007 New York state bar examination will take place. Soon after this date, I am planning a bicycle tour from Palermo, Sicily, driving along the coast, crossing to the mainland, and visiting Napoli (Pompeii and Herculanum), zigzagging to Rome and Umbria. We will take about two months to explore Italy by bike. In preparation for it, I will post updates of our plans, background information of our travels, and of course updates of our Giro d’Italia itself.
