This would relate to the discussion we had before your departure; which is quite a very different way of touring, and a different level of experiencing the culture & the country.
2 months agoThe buildings in the background are quite striking, as if only half finished? Very distinct. Or one could say, odd.
2 months agoThank you for sharing this. Another place to put on my list. Very few Americans know we were allied with Italy and had troops there during WWI. One regiment sent to England was on an arrival diverted to Italy. While mostly to help with Italian morale, the regiment did serve in combat. And like you, it passed through Treviso.
2 months agoNo longer in use. 1956 Summer Olympics were in Melbourne Australia.
2 months agoHave fun on the sella Ronda ride. I hope you have sunshine.

2 months agoWhat a sad, tragic way to learn a lesson in geological engineering .
2 months agoThat strudel should power you up some of those upcoming climbs!
2 months agoLike you, we arrived to construction everywhere in Porto yesterday. It was hard to find our way out of the train station between tourists and construction! We understand the shock of the of the noise after peaceful countryside days.
2 months agoBeing at yoga yesterday reminded me to take a look! Really enjoying your pictures and commentary!
2 months agoHow wonderful to have those bike paths to yourselves! Amazing views.
2 months agoWhere you folks took the left turn away from Pieve di Condore we went into the town. Wow what climb it was. They had a museum of eye glasses. It may have been interesting to see if it had been open. It was a nice place with fantastic views of the area around.
2 months agoThose tour groups remind us of the 60's movie "If today is Tuesday, this must be Belgium". Not our preferred method of touring, but to each their own.
2 months agoGreat to have your new efficient rain gear & hopefully won’t have too many occasions to put it to the test.
Both Heather & I agreed at yoga today that following along on your rides is so much fun! Ride on in good spirits!
Amazing how the majority of those bicycle paths are so well-maintained, for the most part! Obviously not tourist high season, as you seem to have the field mostly to yourselves.
2 months agoAnother striking feature is the proximity of the houses & their front doors to the street! This has always been a noticeable European feature to me.
