We went for a drive today looking for new bike rides and found a Canadian WWII Cemetery in Sicily! It's about an hour away in the town of Agira. Nice drive...a bit of a climb so I'm not sure that we'll do it on the bikes (not yet, anyway.) Agira is the town on top of this hill. We stopped for a cappuccino and some gelato.
The drive home took us through a windmill farm. Those things are huge! There's a little white car on the bottom of the picture to give you an idea of how honkin' they are!
We did 43 miles on the bikes yesterday. We're still beginners with our hill training...one was 760' elevation gain. A handful of others before that. Nothing to brag about...but the scenery! Some of the roads are in pretty bad shape, so you really have to watch your descents.
Later that evening we went to a big sporting goods store about an hour south near Siracusa. You would think you can never get used to getting stuck in traffic because of geep (sheep that look like goats) but you do...yes, that's geep poop all over the road.
Ciao...
Bud
