TUSCANY ON THE MED - 2

2017-09-11 13.22.42  2017-09-11 13.32.18

The chef made Pizzas for us last night; everyone appreciated this and we ate all he could bring.

We’ve missed a lot of riding because of the lost luggage and the rain.  Today is a rest day  and we’d hoped to ride.  However, Brenda has been coughing continuously since 6 am (it’s now 8:30) and it’s pretty windy; someone said we have 25 mph wind.   I was the only one with riding clothes at breakfast and I’ve since changes into street clothes.  So we’ll see what  the day holds.

We’ve never before been on a ride with 40 people.  How do you get to know this many people in such a short time? It’s particularly difficult when the ride leader omits the normal first-day introductions.  But we’re doing pretty good; Brenda in particular already knows many names.  And I’m well known as the  photo editor.  I already have 50 or so images in our album.  The first sunset photo below is from one of the other riders’ the last one is mine.

We’re really enjoying the view from our new balcony.  With a glass of wine we watch each night’s sunset.

  1. Hi Brenda and John! This sure as been an inauspicious start to your trip, but I hope it (and you Brenda) improve quickly! I agree about 40 people. The Sunsets are beautiful! Hope you get in some fun and lovely riding soon....like tomorrow!
