Last night was so humid that we turned on the air
conditioning here for the first time this summer. It made the one room feel
like a fridge, and the rest of the house was much more tolerable. Needless to
say, the comfort contributed to us sleeping until after 9.
Melissa and I rode bikes to the bakery and the farmers
market, where we got some amazing deals. For a little less than $11 American,
we were able to get more than two pounds of tomatoes (pomodorini), a head of
butter lettuce (trocadero), three eggplants (melanzane), about a pound of onions
(cipolle), two pounds of potatoes (patate), basil (basilico), and about 2
pounds of red and yellow peppers (pepperoni).
Not a bad haul for the money, all of which was farm fresh from local
fields.
Then we spent the rest of the morning on the beach playing
in the water and then playing bocce on the sand. Melissa won a close round of
bocce.
