It has been a lot of fun having Melissa over here. In the
past week, we’ve been to the beach at Lido Ritz every day. Until today, it has
been sunny and between 88-92 degrees. The weather broke today and the temps
dropped into the 70s, and the spent most of the day behind the clouds.
Last night, my sister and I headed into Termoli for the
first time since she’s been in town. It was packed, and the great new parking
garage they built a few years ago has now been converted into a private garage
only. Parking in Termoli is more of a premium than ever. We headed through the
town and into the borgo antica, or old city. With a beautiful view of the
beaches of Termoli we split a couple of sandwiches from Eattico. Then we moved
into the square near the church of San Basso, and had drinks and snacks at
Bigo. The festival lights were, concerts were happening, and the city was
buzzing with excitement as we head into the big summer holiday Ferragosto, the
day of The Assumption. August 15 is a very big holiday in the summer, and
things will pretty much shut down tomorrow.
This week has also been a great one for seeing friends and family.
Our friend Monia was visiting and we were able to have some drinks together.
Then we got to see our cousin Vincenzo and his wife Mariella and their
daughters Erica and Mila. We visited today with my cousin Roberto, his wife Anna,
and their kids Serena, Lorenzo and Massimo. Then we also went to visit my Zio
Matteo, my father’s brother who is 92-years-young and still is lucid and moved
pretty well.
