bike ride ...

The hotel offers free bikes so we ask for a couple, one of which with child seat, we have already prepared some sandwiches and rucksack but we need some more food.
On the way near the main church I find a new cute supermaket with much more veggies, fruits, and food cheaper than the market my mom is always going to, we but a bottle gas water for Momichan, ham, salami and apples.
Destination is the kids park we visited yesterday, Momichan cannot wait to play there :)
After meal Momichan plays a little going up and down the sliders and the big balance nest shaped, day is not so sunny but luckily it doesn't rain, someone said it will rain in the evening around six o'clock.
It is peaceful there and I can relax looking around and looking after Momichan :)
Near the play park there is the big Livigno Dairy, we can look from the big windows outside how milk can be transformed into cheese and butter.
From the kids park we just have to take a walk in the middle of nature, mountains every where, a river on the left side, forest on the right side up on the mountains. Dairy is just one km from the kid park, we park the bicycles and we get inside, there is a coffee corner, a shop where to buy fresh dairy products such as fresh milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, Momichan want s to drink a fresh yogurt, I buy some cheese, Momichan wants to give a look to the machinery downstairs where someone is making ice cream, there is a big window to look through.
Just outside we buy a couple of fresh ice cream, strawberry for Momo and pistacchio for me.
We sit on the grass looking around while we finish the ice creams, panorama is wonderful and I am perfectly relaxed, for the first time in four years I am not making any programs I just eat my ice cream, take the sun, feel the mountain air, the perfumes, the river flow, the insects flying, the grass soft and perfumed.
This place seems really hidylliac but granny wants to go home, she is not feeling good on the bicycle, we want to stay so she comes back alone while Momichan and I proceed on the mountain path easy to do with the bicycles or by feet.
We see old people walking, parents with strollers, mountain bikes and soon we are already inside the forest, the sun heating the pine trees lets them give off a wonderful resin smell and the earth and herbs and flowers which make a vanilla smell, and the wind that moves the high herbs and trees making a kind of lullaby :)
Momichan loves to go on the bike child seat, she looks around in the forest and down to the rivers wich is now transforming in a mountain lake with a deep, freezing, emerald colour :)
Everywhere is full on yellow, white, pink and blue little flowers, little white stars, puffy pink
flowers, yellow explosions with small dark green leaves, deep blue cones and strange big white "umbrellas" flowers are all around us in total peace.
We arrive at Alpisella Refuge, a place where to stop for a drink, a snack or take sun in the total peace of the mountains, no car clacksons, no people yelling, just the sound of water, bird singing and children laughing :)
There is a kids corner to play and rabbit and mountains goats, Momichan is enchanted and starts to jump everywhere calling the bunnies, one big and white and the other smaller and grey, I look at her while drinking a hot coffee in the peaceful sun :)
This place is wonderful to take granny tomorrow and if she doesn't want to come with the bike we can reach it by feet :)
Coming back "home" (hotel) we see some people on horses, Momichan would like to go but she is still to small, we want to go to the other side of the town because at 17.00 PM the Nature Club for kids organize baby dance but with the bicycle is so hard and when we arrive is already finished but we can have the week program with many things for Momichan to do, baby dance is every evening so she can do tomorrow and there is also a Animal house with goats, bunnies, hens and rooster and a play ground, tomorrow Momichan will be very busy :)
In a short moment sky is rumbling and lighting and soon after a thick freezing rain is coming, we have to ride quicly "home" where granny will cook dinner and after sleeping we will have a warm shower :)
