I had a feeling rain was due sometime, and it arrived today.
There was no fanfare, no lightning or thunder, just a drizzle at times and a
pesky downpour others. Then it “cleared” up to just an overcast, cloudy day. Needless
to say, the beach was out, and I did not feel like exercising in the rain.
Maybe a walk later on is in the cards.
Ristorante Netti, my favorite restaurant in Lido di
Campomarino, was my only stop today on my short bike ride following the end of
rain. I picked up some cozze al vino bianco (mussels in white wine sauce) and
pollo alla spiedina (rotisserie chicken). While I was there I noticed that they
now have a hamburger and hot dog menu. I’ve seen three other places featuring
hot dogs this summer, so maybe they are en vogue. That American style menu took
the place of the Choco Kebab, which arrived everywhere around here in 2010, and
basically was a gyro meat shaped piece of chocolate that they would shave
pieces off of and put them in a crepe. Lots of production value for a chocolate
filled crepe.
