It took about five days, but Mom and I both have our Italian
phones operating. Now we can communicate with each other when we are out
separately. (If you want the numbers, send me an email.) We went into Termoli
this morning for a quick visit to the VodaFone store and then went on a
passagiatta (walk) to the paneficio (bakery) and down to the castle, because no trip to a citta vecchia (old city) in Italy would
be complete without seeing a castle (or a cathedral).
The past couple of days we’ve avoided the morning, searing
sun and headed to the beach after a little repose (relaxing nap) for some twilight
time in the sand. What a difference from Sunday to Monday. All of the weekend
daytrippers have left and won’t be back until next weekend. Today was so
sparse, we even saw a man on horseback prance right on down and into the water.
There’s a first time for everything.
