in bici

Back from a lovely weekend in Cremona, with lovely coworkers and their friends.... i conquered my fear of biking and road 25 km in the lovely lombard country side, through the forest, along a naviglio (canal) and farmland. we saw turtles, oversized rats with a special name, and ducks. it was beautiful. we picniced in a sanctuary and had a coffee break in a charming little town.

In other news, I think I am becoming a seventeen year old boy, probably due to the fact that the majority of people i interact with are between the ages of 15 and 19, meno male. upon my students' suggestions, i rewatched American Pie and I must say that I was touched.
