Urbania....the winner of the best flower box competition last year..in with a shot this year?
seems like in small towns there's often a bike sculpture somewhere
ok so its hot, the roads are cobbled, the town small and my apartment is one roomed, somewhat basic but with a bathroom and a kitchen it's also centrally located in the old part of the town. Parking the car is an issue..there is a spot right outside my door but a vigilante in the shape of the neighbourhood nosy vecchia donna has already been aggressive towards me 'cos I don't have the required resident's sticker. So it's in the public car park and I visit it twice a day to let it know I've not forgotten it(!),...and also to make sure it's still there.....The morning class was conversation and a test and in the afternoon we were shown around the town and visited the Chiesa dei morti, where there are mummies, skulls galore and a chandelier made of bones. Quite fascinating.
Today I woke up at 5 rather than 2 or 3am of the previous days. Then I went for a short ride...all up hill. It's a bit hard warming up for the effort when first of all you're riding on cobbles and then a rather steep hill...think I'll try a different direction tomorrow! at least my hill climbing should improve, although TT skills will not.
