Even now, 10 years later, I can still feel the feels and they weren't good.

I'm going to tell you the story of a very memorable walk about a decade ago.

Hi, I'm Dave. Welcome to Walking is Fitness.

This is a podcast that provides a little added motivation to help you get out and take the walk. Today's 10-minute walk starts right after this.

Hard to believe it's been 10 years, but it has.

You ever feel that? Things that seem closer than they actually are in terms of the distance of time.

Been to Italy twice.

Once was a almost a two-week trip that Dave and I took with a couple of friends.

In fact, we were there as their guests.

They paid for most of it.

It was amazing amazing and then 10

years ago I went to Italy part of a radio station promotion they've had the

opportunity to go but she wasn't able to make it so I went without her and it was

an amazing trip and I've told stories from that trip

before except I haven't told this one so we have friends not the ones who

took us to Italy in 2004 but another couple who loved to travel in fact they at one point spent six weeks in

York they're not retired but they saved they planned they organized and did this amazing

six-week trip to Europe.

And they have been back multiple times since then because they enjoyed it so much.

So it turns out that 10 years ago when I was on my second trip to Italy, they were also on a trip to Italy.

And I knew that before leaving. I knew that we were going to be in Italy at the same time.

But Italy's, you know, it's a big country.
