Mom and I awoke anticipating gloomy grey skies. But what we
got was a sunbath. The remnants of the rain are still here, including giant
puddles, but the sky is completely clear. There is a nice breeze and the
humidity is less today than it was last week. It’s perfect weather to head to
the beach later on this afternoon. 
We made plans to go shopping at the Wednesday market in
Campomarino sopra, but because of the Festa di Santa Cristina, the market is
not happening this week. So we went to Lidl instead. It was Mom’s first time in
the discount market, and she enjoyed the trip. While we were there, I went past
the freezer section and saw a section of Americanized food. There were MCENNEDY
Brand spare ribs, cheeseburgers, hamburgers, and a section next to it of frozen
BBQ chicken tacos. That’s some very strange food for the Italians; must be only
at the German-owned Lidl.
Tonight, we will make a third attempt to attend the festa di
Santa Cristina.
