I'm back! A few pix of riding in Italy.

Wonderful pictures and story, NoNo! That looks simply fabulous.

When I was in Italy (Sicily and Naples), I had to drive since I was there for work. I just had to let go of all my control issues and go with the flow. Roundabout? Don't make eye contact--just go. It's like that Visa commercial--everything was in sync. It was exhilarating but a bit terrifying, too. Sadly, I've never ridden a bike in Italy. Yet.

NoNo those are AWESOME pictures. I'm so excited for you!!!

Very cool. I just love all the posts where folks share pictures. It's like one big scrapbook! These ones were especially fun! One of these days I'll ride in Europe! And I've done a lot of family tree research, I know how cool it is to be someplace your family was, to see things about them. Very very neat!

Thanks everyone! Glad I could share a little of our fun with you. Hadn't noticed the sign, but it certainly doesn't lie! My cousin said Ferrara is one of only six cities in Italy that still has the original wall entirely intact. It was really cool riding the trail along the outside of it. Once I get the rest of my pictures on my smugmug site, I'll post the link here. No more biking, but it's hard not to drool over the scenery
