2 nights ago we headed down to Italy to eat in Cannobli, as food in Switzerland is almost 100% more expensive.  The van that we rode in had no back seats, so Tyler and I ended up on the floor of the van with sail bags, boat covers, and odds and ends.  The ride down the coast was smooth, save getting tossed from side to side as Mr. Mollarus sped down the windy, European road trying to stay ahead of crazy European drivers.  As we approached the border, looming checkpoint buildings with border police standing in the street reminded Andrew that he didn’t have his passport…  Of slightly greater concern to me was the fact that the van was essentially smuggling 2 American kids across the border without seat belts or passports!  As we neared the boarder Tyler stuck his head up to get a better view of the police and the check point…  Fortunately the boarder station was not checking passports, or even stopping anyone, so we just sped through with no problems.  Next time we’ll be ready to dive under the boat covers!
