Since returning home from Lecce, Mom, Erik and I have been
lying low in Campomarino. We’ve been busy with the beach, and having great
meals with wonderful people. On Thursday, My cousin Renato and his wife
Dorrette took us out to Ristorante Netti. I hadn’t eaten much because we were
on the road Thursday, so I made sure to have a whole pizza that night. 
Erik is heading back to the States soon, so we took
advantage of the time we had and went to Termoli on Friday. It was the end of
the San Basso festival, and there was a free concert in the main piazza. The
place was mobbed with people to the point that we had to walk around the crowd,
not through it. The streets were even closed to accommodate such a crowd.
Rain was in the forecast for today, so we made the most of
every ray of sunshine. Early this morning we went for a long walk, getting in
more than half of our step goal. It was sunny, but lots of clouds were rolling
in. We took the chance and hit the beach, but the water was too rough. After
about an hour and a half, we called it a day and returned home. It’s been
raining off and on ever since. We invited Zia over for lunch, and we all took
naps here. The breeze was a welcome reprieve from the recent heat and humidity.
After relaxing and reading a bit, and starting my latest script, Mom, Zia, Erik
and I met up with some family friends for a great night out at the Ristobar. It
is a great place for fresh seafood.
