Elvis Lives!
Mom and I debated what to do tonight. Do we stay in and
relax, or head out and brave the busiest night in all local towns. We decided
to head out. Our first stop was Campomarino sopra (above). It’s referred to as
sopra because when we are at the beach and look to the town above, it is still
our town, Campomarino, just the part that’s above sea level. We heard about a
festival and saw all of the streets lit, but we found out the festival starts
Monday. So we headed to Termoli about three hours after the last parking spot
was filled in town. We drove around looking for parking, but to no avail. So we
headed back to town, and decided to park at home and go on an evening stroll.
We went past the beach clubs and watched the seniors dance to accordion music.
Then we went past the night time flea market. We then headed to Shangri La
gelateria for some gelato.
While we were enjoy the slightly frozen treat, we saw a
police car escorting a group of motorcycles with a limousine and a pink
Cadillac trailing behind. The whole town stood in wonder as to who was inside the
car. About 5 minutes later, we heard the music. It was an Elvis impersonator,
complete with an Italian sung on every note. It was really entertaining to hear
him belt out the tunes, and the people’s reaction to the fancy cars was also
priceless. Once parked, people swarmed the cars like they were seeing something
for the first time.
