Joy on the bike…

Pretty much every day I ride, I see something delightful…

How about a frog on a water fountain?

I rode one day way up into the hills, to a small village called Torcigliano and found these terrific murals of Pinocchio. I was crushed because it was one of the very few times I went without my camera so I knew I had to go back.

Finally last week, I went for a hike with my brother. So here you are: Pinocchio and his winged donkey!

This little village is on my favorite local ride. Every time I turn the corner and see this small church, I sigh with pleasure. It’s just right. So Italy.

This water fountain is at the top of a climb out of my valley as I ride towards Lucca. There’s a cafe up here that caters to cyclists and I always try to have a cappuccino there.

One day I met a friend for lunch at the beach.or arranged meeting place was at “The Sails” which is the name for the impressive marble sculpture. I love the shape and sweep of it.

We had a glorious windy sunny day and walked around after lunch. This is a shot looking back from the pier.
