Today started off a little late…actually a lot late. We didn’t wake up this morning (afternoon?) until 2PM. I’m not quite sure how we pulled off that accomplishment, but it is impressive nonetheless. As such, it was a relatively uneventful day. After having some lunch we headed out to check out the town and find an ATM. This place is amazing: small, cozy, and full of life. There’s a narrow avenue that contains the shopping district. There are shops selling a wide assortment of beautifully designed items from purses to shoes to jewelry. I found one store that had the most amazing collect on amber jewelry. It was so hard to resist the temptation to buy the place out. Lee told us that the river winds around the city in a circle so we decided to follow it. We passed numerous cafes with their tables nuzzled right up to the river; it was so picturesque. Probably the most enticing were the various shop selling homemade ice cream. I can’t wait to have some; I bet it’s absolutely delicious. All along the river are these fantastic wild fig trees. Hopefully they’ll come into season while we’re here so I can snag a few. After our walk we came back to the house. Lee cooked this incredible dinner of salad, gnocchi, and mushrooms with fresh strawberries for dessert. We stayed up late into the night drinking wine and chatting about anything and everything. I’m so impressed that Lee’s a Kevin Smith fan. The others arrive tomorrow, which is very exciting; I know everyone’s going to have a great trip.
More Water wheels...fun!
