Campomarino has basically a few things to do: Eat, group
dance, walk, and go to the beach. The town is simple, the food is great, and
the people love to gather. Yesterday was my 39th birthday, so I
chose to eat, walk and go to the beach. I did three of the four main activities
of the town.
Most of the day yesterday and today was spent with my feet
in the sand (actually I was mostly on a chaise lounge). It is relaxing to sit
there, listen to the sea, and watch the people go by. I’m onto my fourth book
of the summer, and I spend most of my time reading and getting a tan.
Last night, Mom, Zia and I hit the town for dinner at
Ristorante Netti, and a little shopping on the street. I got a watch last night
with some of the gift money Zia gave me (grazie, Zia), and this morning I
picked up another while passing through the traveling market that arrives every
Friday.
With the trip coming to an end soon, Mom, Zia and I went to
Termoli for one last trip. I managed to head to the castle of Federico II to
eat a slice of pizza and snap some photos. Then we all went to a couple of
stores in and around Termoli before heading home.
After careful thinking, Mom and I decided to cancel our trip
to Florence. We were going to head there on Sunday, but with her scooter not
working and it being the busiest travel day of the summer as Italians head back
to work on Monday, it seemed the right thing to do. A day full of traffic on
the Autostrada doesn’t sound like fun. All we’d really be doing is checking into
a hotel and getting dinner. Now we’ll just head straight to Milan on Monday.
