Riding the Dolce Vita: My Giro d'Italia Adventure – May 2024
I've just got to tell you about this incredible journey I had in May – an exhilarating tour through Italy for the Giro d'Italia.

"My test results are positive...."
Uri Martins
Jan / 7 / 2021
This last year, we have all been living at some level of COVID alert. After the news in China and then the spread to Italy, we were all washing hands, wearing masks, elbow bumping, trying to keep our distance from each other and working from home. Everything eased up during summer and then the cold weather arrived and with it, our second wave. And I was careful. I followed the protocols, the rules, but this time I got infected.
