Ride to Osor

September 16, 2013 by julie@julieshipman.com

Today we rode to Osor, a very small ancient town in the hills outside of Girona, with only one place to eat; our restaurant was the home of the local Boar Hunting Club.  We did have a random assortment of “meat” for lunch.  Did not occur to me until this minute that perhaps it was boar?

No, we weren’t mountain biking…  although Bo looks like he might be.

 

And there’s Osor…

One blue eye… a very interesting mix!  I’m guessing Catahoula and Dalmation.  What do you think?

Can you tell the time above?

The girls walking to lunch…  Brigitta (Portland) , Stanna (SLC)  and Penny (Oakley/Nantucket).

 

After our break, another great ride up and down back to Girona.  Funny how talented I am to get these shots while riding my bike…  hhhmmmm.

Marty J leads the pack.

And, before the day is done, dinner out again in Girona…  an absolutely beautiful city on the river.
