The scenery must have been beautiful if not the memories associated with them.

It is incredible. I was driving and my girlfriend was navigating but there are turnouts there probably for slower vehicles such as trucks and buses to pull over and let a string of cars by. We stopped and looked from those.

The Amalfie Coast is even more incredible but way beyond me being able to drive and look at the same time.

Default Gordon Lightfoot.

Default Bo Derek.

Bo Derek - Wikipedia

There is a Bo Derelict in my Village. It is a little dog named Bo or Beau whose owner with a sense of humor added a name. Kind of to his wive's ill humor as she does not seem to share the same humor when I might Beau Derelict with the dog owner who is the wife of the dog nick namer.

Bo Derek. I probably had that poster of her with her corn rows on a beach with a skimpy bathing suit on my bedroom wall in the late 1970s. 10 (1979) - Rotten Tomatoes
