A Day of Rest
Today we just hung out. We headed to our hotel's beach (600 meters down the road) this morning and swam, sunned, and people- watched from our rented sun beds. For 13 euros we were led to our spot for a half day, complete with 2 loungers, an umbrella, and an attached table. The ocean is lovely and warm. The pizza was good, too.
Entering Italy yesterday with no knowledge of the language was a bit of a shock, but it struck me today that some language is universal. We watched grandparents fawning over a 6 month old baby boy, cooing to him all the while as they made trip after trip to the tap to fill containers to fill his tiny wading pool. Mothereze, or in this case, grandmothereze, is understood by all.
It was good to just relax around the pool and read our books today. We bumbled our way through a supermarcato and found items for a picnic dinner. Tomorrow we're off to Levanto.
