As I was leaving from Terrace airport,
having moved out of my home of the last many years, and ready for new adventures as I headed for Vancouver, Frankfurt, Milano, and now Ticino in Switzerland
This here wooden bird was the only one there to see me off!
Thus I am very thankful to be receiving such warm welcomes and generous hospitality from @kus-knee (TheOldDog) and his family here in Ticino. The weather has been magnificent and the value of crypto is rising :-) Who could ask for anything more!
But more came my way anyway!
Dinner in a grotto:
with the TheOldDog's hospitality!
and lamb chops grilled in an open fire place:
Grotto in Villa Luganese?!? Saluti da Steemitri il manichino ;-)

Are you speaking from a Nanaimo perspective or are you back to Haida Gwaii?

@onceuponatime wow Merlot - the Old Dog is really generous!
stopping over for your connecting flights in Amsterdam?

From all perspectives really, though I am in Nanaimo right now and things are a humongous change for me here, Haida Gwaii is also in transition. I don't know if Claude told you, but one of his closest friend was just named Chief Skedans on Saturday and he was there himself, from the pictures I saw earlier today.
I sure hope you are adapting well to the new environment and still taking good care. Thrive on Brother, namaste :)

You're welcome. The image of the eagle sculpture really attracted my eye - it is both beautiful and a little vulgar in a fantastic way!

"Are you opening your heart to the new?" I love it! I'll have a fellow steemian visiting soon, I'll make sure to host them well and show them the city.
I think this is great for building community and meeting up with fellow steemians.
I'll keep up with your travels and you're welcome here of course if you ever come to these parts of the world.
Happy travels!

That's thinking out of the box grilling in a fire place. Have to give that a try!
Unfortunately I missed Steemfest 2016, but am looking forward to 2017 and help change the World too!!!

Nice setup for dinner. I don't drink but I think that Merlot is supposed to be good wine. I just recognise the name. Lamb chops from a fireplace... now, that's priceless.

Actually, not priceless. There was a price to the meal - but it being Switzerland and all, that price was pretty steep! (we'll be eating left overs for a while to make up for such indulgence!).

I mean whatever price you paid, it's worth it.
Better leftovers than wasting.
Perhaps, you can make some pie out of it.

I have no idea where you find all this strength and appetite for change?! I'm awed... I wish you the best of luck with your new adventure! Give my regards to @kus-knee and keep us informed on your whereabouts!

@twiceuponatime sometimes grabs the steering wheel and I am shaken out of my complacency :-)
Without his influence, I wouldn't have the "strength and appetite" to change the channel, let alone geographical areas, if I didn't already have a remote in my hand.

Merlot is a very good sign of a cozy hospitality and your "adventures" seems to be very interesting ! I missed the past Steemfest, but my heart and my mind are totally open for new adventures to live and I'll wait for the next Steemfest ^_^

Sounds really great! Let's do it! (maybe Florence? There are more beautiful corners to take great photos for steemit's posts, excellent food as Lampredotto and bistecca alla fiorentina, excellent wine as Chanti and Brunello :P )
