ancona harbor ....ancona being where we have settled for the next year or two

in the mornings (at least 5 times a week) we ride our bicycles down to the harbour and out the other side into the old town...

and right through the town to posetta pictured below ... the arrow indicates where we park our bicycles and walk down to the sea for a swim.

the trip one way is about half an hours cycle, we do about fifteen minutes swim and then head back to our bicycles and we head home to start the day.

some evenings we go down to the harbour .... again using our trusty cycles... and have a coffee or glass of wine and just enjoy the ambience.

ancona is interesting from the point of view that where we swim we watch the sun rise.... and just three kilometers away one can watch the sunset in the evening.

enough for now.... and no music ... a silent post indeed.

No Music? That's not acceptable! {LOLOLOL}
Ah well, I suppose the Italian language is already singing enough for you ;)
An hour cycling for 15 minutes swimming. Euhm. Doesn't sound very efficient. That said, a vacation (short and long term) are not invented to be efficient ;)

That's quite a start to the day.

Those first two pics look like they're out of some book about the supernatural XD (I'm sure that I've seen that second shot before in some book about the paranormal, and I'm equally sure that I'm probably misremembering, either way I'm sure it's one of those iconic shots which is probably why it looks familiar and it's just the black and whiteness adding to the paranormality)

So does your day end by travelling that 3km to watch the sun set or would the trip home be too hazardous? :D

hi there .... hope you are well. you must understand one thing.... my girl and i are fearless :) ... so nothings too hazardous/ on this monday past which was italy's most celebrated holiday 'the feast of something or other' ... and without giving it much thought accepted an sms'ed invite to join some long distance far removed family for lunch.
think about this... we do not know the etiquette around these type of invites, we do not know anyone and we do not speak the language.

it was stressful to say the least and seven hours and 11 courses later we arrived home. in fact lovely people, good food ... but we will definitely think twice before accepting that kind of invite again

That sounds like way too much food XD

is a culture thing .... even when lunch was finished pickles and preserved figs and and and ... was brought out. apparently when there are guests there must never be no food on the table .
