Lugano/Pazzallo-Alpe Vicania Bike Loop

After a great week in the south of France, Emily and I spent the second week of her break exploring some of the surrounding areas of Lugano. As Emily spent her last day with Amy in Como Italy, I jumped on my bike and headed to some new trails on the next mountain over. Little did I know that this was going to be a highlight of my last two weeks.

Few Captions Needed...Enjoy!

Looking across the hillside towards Emily's school.




















View from San Groto Botanic Park.


Looking into Italy and the foothills of the Alps.




Do you think he thinks about his height all the time?




Headed home after 5 hours of perfection.


After thoroughly enjoying my bike ride, I couldn't wait to take Emily there...so we went two days later.



Tasty pit stop.

As we enjoyed our beers we order another round and asked for a food menu. The waiter asked us if we would like a cheese and meat plate to snack on..."sure why not?" 45 minutes later we asked for our check to see that 4 beers and a snack plate was 70 Francs ($70) seven for each beer and 42 Francs for the cheese and meat! Asking the waiter if this was right he smiled and nodded, all the while the guys sitting behind us got up and flew away in their helicopter....Ah ha!
