Too Hot For Singing...

I had planned to visit the Puccini museum which had been in a state of renovation during our first visit two years ago. but although the scaffolding had been taken away and there was a notice: ‘Museo Di Puccini’, the museum itself didn’t exist. (It was housed in a modern prefab on the town walls) We treated ourselves to an ice cream at the Piazza Anfiteatro and would still be there, but had to go to get out of the heat. Next we headed for the cycle hire area. Graham didn’t think we’d manage it in the heat, but I was determined to prove that I could now ride a bicycle with ease now that my hernia has been mended. I was in a bit of discomfort, but it only hurt during and strangely not after the event. We had to leave about 6.00pm to get back to base reasonably early. Graham had arranged to have a ‘phone conference’ with a firm in New York at 8.00pm, so we collected a few provisions at the local shop on the way back and while Graham held court for over an hour, I borrowed his camera and attempted to take pictures of the villages on the opposite side of the valley which were so beautifully bathed in the golden evening light.
