where we live: Sundays


Where we live bikes have baskets...


Where we live buildings tell stories...

Where we live faces appear in unexpected places...

Where we live a quick and light lunch for the family looks like this...

Where we live designated paths offer us a safe place to ride...

Where we live bike chains still fall off track...



A Sunday bike ride and stop for lunch in the paese
...........

There are a series of bike paths that run throughout the province of Vicenza; the one pictured goes from Vicenza to Toara (good wine there) and is nearly 28 kilometers of flat and easy riding. Nice, doncha think?

weekend (-ing)


:: An afternoon with old friends...girls rule! It was great to see kids we've known since Young One's preschool days but don't get to see much anymore. They move too much to achieve any focus.


:: Chocolate pumpkin cookies for a gathering with new friends | (I swear I'm an introvert! I have no idea how we get these invites.) The simple recipe: one box of dark chocolate cake, one can of pumpkin puree, a handful of chocolate chips. 

:: The Third Annual Pumpkin Festival in a nearby village...I sure hope to be there for the fourth annual festa! Really. Have you ever tasted homemade tortelli filled with pumpkin? I can safely say you have not lived until you have.


:: We are still going out on those bikes of ours. Poor girl really needs a bigger bike. FYI: We did not win a million Euros.

:: We made an impromptu stop to shoot a few photos in a nearby vineyard during the bike ride. Usually, I like the "outtakes" better than the poses. Don't you? And can I just say...geeeees, I love the diffused light of an overcast sky.

I hope you had a great weekend, too! I also hope to be able to start posting a bit more than photos here some day soon. I understand if you abandon me because, really, short of my close friends and family, I'm not sure who can stomach much more of "look what I did this weekend" posts.

Ciao.
