Look at those cheeses!
Only true wine connoisseurs can enter!
I love this sculpture, by my friend Douglas Robinson.
The long road of pilgrimage through Italy comes through here. The most popular sections are in Italy, but the route actually begins in Canterbury, England.
Many small villages (& plenty of bigger towns) have monuments to commemorate their locals who fell in the world wars. This is a particularly striking statue.
You can see from the blue ribbon that a baby boy was born here recently. I rode past this property and stopped for the shot.
And here’s a ribbon for a girl.
Some shrines accumulate bouquets.
Just before everything began to bloom, I took this photo of the central market in Viareggio. All the trees here are pruned drastically over winter. These almost look scary.
The view I see every time I return home above Ruosina. That’s Monte Altissimo in the background. Sometimes the light falls on it in just a certain way and it looks like a citadel on the top.
Tomorrow I’m off to London. Will post from there…
Travelling around… looking and seeing
