The old ladies on the Promenade

This was the Kurpromenade in Merano yesterday: about 150 oldtimers drove through Merano and made a stop on the Promenade. A nice passion which gives anybody the chance to admire the old ladies life :).

Summer is back again :)

As I went lunch break yesterday, I couldn't believe at what I was seeing and feeling! The sun was shining bright in the sky and I could feel 30 degrees on my skin! We are at the end of September and it's still summer :) Cool :) So I went to the gym and decided that I couldn't stay indoors. I went jogging :)
I made my usual route, from the winter Promenade to the Gilf and up to the Tappeiner. I couldn't believe I had to shorten my trip because it was too hot...! I felt lucky :)

The castle on the hill is the Zenoburg.

A new situation again...

After two weeks of inexorable sun in Rhodos, here I am in Merano again and... guess what? It's raining!! I can't believe it! I wasn't really thinking of doing great things during my last holiday days here, but this weather is rather all but stimulating... :(
I hope for it to stop the next days :) Merano will be animated by a Long Tuesday in the center and a Summer night on the Promenade.

Elegant musical end of June

What could be a better end for June, if not colourful performances of the Cambridge Morris Men on the Promenade and the exhibition of veteran Citroens all through the town center?
Despite of the rainy weather the 11 dancers who came to Merano from the UK found the energy and the joy for dancing in front of the public, enjoying the performance with a bit of curiosity for the colourful costumes dedicated to the celebration of spring.
The Citroen veteran cars had the pleasure to be well received in Merano for the 5th time last week-end and bore the thick raindrops elegantly.
Oh, I nearly forgot...if you take a closer look at the picture, you will see a green pianist in the background... It is one of the extraordinary creations of the Municipal Nursery Merano. :)
