| Campomarino paese from my ride |
I was testy this morning after I walked to a piazza a little
less than a mile away to pay a bill at the post office, only to find the local
office closed. Zia asked me to run and get the car and we would go to the post
office in Campomarino sopra (the main, old part of town). So I walked the mile
back and got the car. When I found her, she had discovered why the office was
closed, the Festa di Santa Cristina. Because of the religious festival of the
town’s saint (based on the name of the church in the main town), all banks and
post offices would be closed, only in this town. (Termoli has San Basso and
here in Campomarino Lido [the beach part of town] we have Santa Ana this
Friday, which is celebrated only in the beach part of town.)
So I went to the beach after no luck with bill paying. Maybe
tomorrow. This afternoon, after cooking lunch, I decided to go for a bike ride.
I used today to do some hill training. I set a goal and got about 50 feet past
where I thought I could get to. A beach cruiser is not designed for hills, and
neither am I. I did manage to capture some photos of town.
