68 Days of Summer – Day 52 – Another One Bites the Dust

Another summer here in Campomarino is in the books. Tomorrow morning we push off early headed for Siena and Firenze (Florence). It has been a fun summer, but all good things must come to an end. The housework is virtually finished and tomorrow I just have about 15 minutes of loose ends to complete before we leave, plus packing the car, which is like putting 10 pounds of sausage in a five pound sack.
Our place is on the bottom right corner

As we prepare to leave, some things prepare to arrive. The circus is in town, and along with it comes a selection of African animals including camels, a giraffe, and a zebra. Oddly, these are very close to their names in Italian; camelli, giraffe, and zebra. The crowds are also in town, creating a parking nightmare. Luckily we did not take our car anywhere yesterday and today, or we might not have a spot. Sadly, the clouds have rolled in too. It did not rain, but was not a good day for the beach as the clouds came with wind and lower temperatures.
