Mom and I awoke today with the full intention of walking
downtown to the Friday market. However, the threat of rain made me drive us
down instead, and we got back not 10 minutes before the sky opened up. It was
nothing like yesterday’s rain, and by this afternoon I made it to a
sun-drenched, windy beach. Most of the umbrellas were closed as the wind was
whipping pretty good, and the Adriatic Sea was rougher than I had seen her all
summer. Tonight is early to bed, as I’m driving to Naples to pick up my friend
Phil tomorrow morning.
