On our way to the bus this morning we note the return of the little Alpha. Eric can have that discussion this afternoon. What’s the worst thing that can happen to your pedometer when you lower your pants to go to the toilet? Yep, mine ended up underwater and its finito! Have to trust Eric to tell me when we’ve reached 10,000 steps a day, that’s the goal you see. Most days getting pretty close or well over. Decided to post home our Tuscan shopping so visited the post office and managed with some difficulty (actually lots) to get the box sent. Only 3 kg, but pretty bulky with 2 handbags inside. Instead of going directly into the old town today we headed to an outlook near the old fort and then went into the Basilica Santa Caterina. In contrast to the ornate cathedral, this place of worship is quite Spartan but it did have a lovely welcoming feel with the flags of all the different councils on display. Had a lovely lunch on a cafe balcony overlooking the old city. Walked to Il Campo for a last visit and wrote a final postcard from here. When we first aligned ourselves with a contrade, or district, which competes in the Il Palio we were inclined towards the Dragons but since learning that both my knee specialist and Tony of La Grotta support the snails we now follow them. Eric is now definitely ahead of me in the shopping with a second pair of shoes to his credit. No Antonio when we get home but we are assured he will be there in the morning.
