I made it a point today to keep my only Samsung Galaxy Young
on me at all times as a pedometer today. Throughout the day, I managed to get
in more than 17,000 steps. And it was very easy to do. After a walk downtown
this morning, Mom and I went to Lido Ritz for some time in the sun. My stomach
is officially burned, as are my lower legs, oddly. Italian Solarcaine is not as
powerful as the stateside stuff. 
Today was very windy, and the water was too rough to enjoy,
so we just sat out by our umbrella and watched the people doing yoga and
dancing at the water’s edge. Hopefully tomorrow will be less windy and offer us
a chance to go swimming.
After the beach, we headed into Termoli. We walked around
town a bit before heading into the castle town of Federico II. We then had
dinner under the stars in a piazza new the Duomo of Termoli at Ristorante
Federico II. They specialize in pesce (fish), and never disappoint with their
freshness and flavor. The we grabbed a gelato before heading back. Termoli was
alive with people tonight as the Festa di San Basso is winding down. There is
even a carnival in the town’s port.
