I missed telling you about the last few rides, at least some of the very cool things I’ve seen. More tomorrow!
Today we ran into a “street food fair” in Moncalvo. Had all sorts of fun foods: French fries made from chickpeas, fried rice balls with prosciutto and mozzarella inside, pastries! This one of my favorites. All layers of pastry with ricotta inside.
At our hotel last night, we had an infinity pool. Very lovely. Very chilly…nobody seems to heat the pool here. But good for my legs.
Lovely hotel.
We had some bitters. This one is very tasty: Vecchio Amaro del Capo. Also liked Monte Negro and Ramazzoti.
Yesterday, we had coffee in Santo Stefano Belbo that was the birthplace of Cesare Pavese, a major Italian poet/writer.
We passed a lovely little chapel on a hairpin bend.
As we ride, we are passed by many tractors like this one. In the foreground is my roommate, Mary.
Two days ago, we rode from the sea into the mountains. I’ll cover that in a separate post. Uhh, I’m behind…
That pool looks so similar to one at a hotel in France……one side was like a waterfall. Is that one big? and yes, the one I went into was cold too!
This one wasn’t so big and the other side was nothing, but the view was so great!
