Well 'dinner' last night was a Fragole (strawberry) gelato consumed while I walked down one side of the other for a couple of bridges, and back up the other. I am trying to stay away from the Ponte Vecchia in the evenings as it is crowded with turisti. Unfortunately, if I want to go to the city it is the closest bridge to me although I can walk a little further and cross the Ponte Santa Spirita.
Finished the first week of my wood-carving course today and have nearly finished the large frieze that I started yesterday after I finished the flower decoration. I think that glue and I are going to become very good friends - particularly when working with fragile softwood. The leaf that broke off my flower is now glues satisfactorily back in place and you can't really tell - at least from the front.
I am thinking of doing a 1 day cycle tour on May 24th. I went by their office today to enquire about it but there office was closed 'out on tour' so I will have to see if I can talk to them on Sunday as I am off on a bus tour tomorrow (il sabato).
While I was walking back through the city I bought a panino for lunch (prosciutto) and munched it while walking.
While writing this I am watching stage 7 of the Giro d'Italia live on Rai 2. It seems to be going well for the Aussies at present but there is still plenty of distance yet. I had half hoped to be able to see a stage finish on Sunday but I don't think that is going to happen. Anyway, Garth and I should see one later in the month near Trento.
