2008 08 26 Cortina

This was our last rest day. After eating from a huge breakfast buffet, I decided to laze around town. I caught up on internet stuff, cleaned my bike, walked up the pedestrian mall, had pizza and beer for lunch (good, crispy pizza with capers, anchovies and olives) and beer, and read. Jeff went for the optional ride and reported that it was difficult but had great views. It was also part of this year's Giro d' Italia. There was writing up and down the road surface with riders' names. He ran onto a herd of cows, had a few difficult ascents along with their screaming descents, took a run on the bobsled course and arrived back at the hotel at about 3:00. Here are some photos from his ride:

Dinner tonight was the hotel's great buffet. Here are some pictures of it:
