flat olive made it across the pond!

flat olive arrived this morning in ITALY! and just in time. 

this weekend is barcolana here in trieste.  barcolana is the largest sailing race in europe and it takes place on the last day of a 9 day festival.  while olive has missed many of the festivities that have taken place this week, she's just in time for the concerts tonight and tomorrow night and then the big race on sunday morning! 

more than 2,000 sailboats participate in the race each year, which means at least 2,000 sailors.  we'll report back with stories after the weekend!
