Day 12. It’s finally overwhelming

This trip has been so visually stimulating, as well as in so many other ways…I can’t keep up. After I get home I’ll post some photos from 2-3 days ago. For now, I’ll just stay with today.

It rained today, and it’s a layover day so no need to ride much. We have been so lucky. I only rode 1.5 hours and only got a little wet. I wouldn’t have gotten wet at all if I hadn’t gone back up into town to buy pecorino (sheep) cheese at the weekly market. I bought several slabs and then had to figure out how to fit them into my pockets and rear seat bag. They only just fit! Worth it though. Very tasty.

Rode to the next village before turning back when the clouds loomed too large.

On the way back, I passed a sanctuary that had brick columns spaced out as if a fence.

Wandered through Murisengo, looking for coffee…

Un caffè: perfetto!!

Finally, as I rode up up up to the top of the hill where our hotel is (Canonica di Corteranzo), I saw a great shot of a tractor.

And finished with an irresistible shot of a barn door.

  1. I wonder if those brick columns by the church are grave markers. Interesting! Stay warm and dry and take care of you!! xoxo

  2. They might be. I also wondered if they were similar to the Buddhist stupas and commemorated different monks or nuns or holy people.
