La Rotonda and Montegaldella (60.3 km)
After a night in a very hot hotel room--billed as "eco-friendly" which meant no air conditioning, no air movement, and a window that opened on an air shaft that pigeons used for their business, we set off on a loop ride. First stop: La Rotonda (below) believed to be the masterpiece of Pallaian architecture.

Still feeling the heat and humidit, we opted to return to Vicenza. With no relief from heat in the hotel, we roamed the city until settling for a nice outdoor restaurant.
