the big 4-0!

today my very good friend gianfranco is 40. so, happy birthday gianfranco, buon compleanno. tanti auguri a te!
since the moment i arrived in platania gianfranco has been a great friend. he is the heart and soul of platania and a big part of the reason why i love the place so much
i suspect there will be a big party to celebrate his birthday and I’m very sad that i won’t be there, but i trust that the 100 or so friends that turn up will ensure that he has a great celebration.
a toast to gianfranco, here’s to another 40 years.
i’m off again tomorrow to lisbon… more photos from the iberian peninsula on monday/tuesday… happy easter all and thanks for reading.
