Farmer's Market |
(l-r) Linda and Mom |
I’ve been busy since Saturday primarily doing nothing but
relaxing. We’ve been hitting the beach every day, walking to the farmer’s
market and bakery almost daily, and eating great food. Melons we’ve been eating for breakfast have
been particularly sweet this year, and we’ve been lucky never to get a dull
melon.
Campomarino is much more alive this week, as many Italians
are here for vacation. Friday is a big holiday, Ferragosto, and the natives
usually have off some the week before to begin celebrations. The fruit market,
the bakery, the beach and the streets at night are more swollen with patrons
this week.
Beach exercise class |
We have our last day at Lido Ritz beach club tomorrow. It
has been fun and relaxing as the
Adriatic has really calmed down since last week. The weather has been great as
well. Mom is also improving her confidence getting in and out of the water, and
she is doing more acqua-exercises everyday. Though, she is not quite ready for
the Lido Ritz morning exercise classes at the water’s edge.
Waiting in line at the bakery |
We’ve also been getting lots of sun. I even have some
sunburn on my lips. I am pretty much at my bronzing point, and likely will not
get much darker. Today I turn to dark tanning oil to finish off the summer sun
bathing.
