Summertime and living is easy....

Nice morning round Carpi again. First time market was on and it was difficult to see the town for what it is. The castle goes back to 1472. Visited it on our own. they are doing works to it and this gorgeous builder/curator maybe(?) gave us a quick round up before leaving us on our own to enjoy the place. How much history can you handle? Lovely. To think Brasil wasn't even discovered yet and here was this thriving city already.
lovely, lovely laid back place but with shops such as Max Mara - its birth place is round here. Anyway.... Nice cappucino on the square for 2,60 euros for 2 and then to the best bakery ever for some filled foccacia and cakes, all for 10 euros plus some extra canapes thrown it. Gorgeous...

Now home and just relaxing... Forgot to say this is ciclist heaven, everybody cycles everywhere - very flat, and lots of cycle lanes and the like. Wish I could cycle. Maybe something to learn in Rio das Ostras - also very flat...
