The travel blog lives!

It’s been almost three years since my last post, but here we are back in Europe, Italy this time, and about to start our most ambitious bike tour yet!

We landed in Florence this afternoon, after leaving Denver yesterday afternoon. The flight wasn’t bad at all; Lufthansa treats its passengers very well, even in economy, but we probably didn’t get much more than a few hours of sleep.

I’m not going to write much tonight, as it’s just past 1 am here. We did have a lovely walk around Florence this evening, and enjoyed some lovely “golden hour” light…

The view from the plane just before landing. That looks like some hilly riding!
Florence cathedral in all its glory
Can you believe that sky?
