one lovely afternoon in August, me and Diego we went for a bicycle ride along the lido, at one point we were attracted by the sweet frying onion fragrance in the air which brought back memories of the celebration of July 1st in Ottawa, where hotdog wagons selling the mouth-watering hamburger, hotdogs, and sausages....so we decided to find out where was this wonderful smell from by following the trail of it...here we go they were busily preparing the succulent "porchetto" piglets on the skewers, one of the famous plates in Sardegna, the owner told us that it would take at least 3 hours to prepared them, of course, sausages were also included in the menu... to finish with the plate, there were also barbecued eggplants, red pepper, oh yes, the onions.....yum, yum.  We did not have any of them coz we had our lunch before heading out for a bicycle ride.  We went through the old city and stopped in front of the harbour and admiring all the luxurious boats waiting for their next journey to the sea....it was such a lovely ride, the best way to enjoy the elegant old city,  great excersize and environmental friendly, why not??!!!
