I helps that 58% of the 18+ group cycle themselves. 33% use it as a weekly transportation, that makes for polite cars drivers too. Their infrastructure is amazing. Their environmental attitude is exceptional, they are healthier and more mentally balanced than most places on earth. 💪

Sunday morning long walk along the river. A few #birds, cloudy skies, but a bit of sun breaking through. Our dog turned 4 today so she had to work off the treats she had for breakfast. :-) Have a great weekend!

Bassano del Grappa, dropped our son off for a sports day - big park with about 50 different sports for kids to try. He was with his judo club promoting. Went for a walk in town, beautiful day! Have a great Sunday! #photography

That's 10$ per gallon. 👇 I'd be thrilled with 6$. 🤷

11.8 gallons, 115 USD. 😡 Thanks Donald. 😡 Then my bank sends me an sms to tell me again that I just spent 99euro for 45 liters. Economic terrorism.

Tonight is the first of 4 chess match shows in our little town. The original was in the 1500s - two guys played a live chess match to see who would marry the king's daughter. There are 350 people in costume, it's an impressive show done every 2 years. #Marosticachess. 🏁♟️

Radio Frequency defrosting and drying machines. Industrial meat, seafood processors. 800kgs per hour processing, or drying of industrial baked goods. 45 to 180kw consumption. 30 to 120 feet long. Similar to a microwave but penetrates 40lbs blocks of frozen food gently but uniformly & fast. 🙂

We put a camera in the main room to check our dog when we are away at work. She has one spot, by the door, waiting for someone to come home. 🥹 #dogsofbluesky

A light in changing times, She walked the world with open hands and a boundless heart. She lifted the quiet, the overlooked Turning every kindness into a kind of art. Her voice became a shelter, warm and bright, A woman made of laughter and generosity A lantern for anyone searching for their light

Château de Virieu. Last stop. Just west of lac de paladru. Fun tour guide. Family owned since 1100, they spend their vacations here. 🙂 There are about 45000 chateaus and castles in France to visit. 😬 About the same number in Italy. I need more vacation. #travel.

Chateau Chenonceau. Caterina de Medici took over the castle from her rival, then built the bridge addition for parties. Beautiful chateau, the gardens are wonderful. Too many people visiting to really enjoy the details but nice anyway. The royal #dog enjoyed the visit and pooped in the garden.

Château de Chaumont-sur-Loire. Half hour bike ride. Queen Caterina de medici started it, then moved to another nearby kicking out her rival and gave it to her who then expanded it and build beautiful gardens. This one was dog friendly 🥰 #photography

It's hot in the camping this afternoon, we cool Luna off with water but she doesn't really like getting wet. Thankfully temps drop tonight and stay much lower.

Château royal d’Amboise. Beautiful little town with a huge castle. Temperature dropped to 100f today 😬🥵 so we rode our bikes to Amboise about 40 minutes. Leonardo da Vinci spent his last years here. He stayed in the chateau in the 5th pic. 👍

Valensole France, lavander town, in July the entire countryside is purple 💜, now it's just a really relaxing place, our favorite camping with a pool. A decompression zone for a few days . We biked a bit this morning before the heat. Have a great day!
